Toby Alderweireld insists Tottenham shouldn't have regrets about recent seasons.

Alderweireld left Spurs for Qatari club Al-Duhail after six years, 236 appearances, two title challenges, two FA Cup semi-finals, one League Cup final, one Champions League Final and no trophies in north London.

“No, no, I don't think the club can regret anything. I think they did wonderful," Alderweireld told the London Evening Standard.

“You don't know all the things that happen in a club. It's not Football Manager. I know for sure that [chairman Daniel] Levy gave 100 per cent for the club. It's good they're not happy with where they are now. The structure is there to be one of the biggest clubs in the world. Maybe they need some more time. I know in football there's no time but I don't think the club should have done anything else.

“How many times do you see clubs invest too much and then they're in trouble? Spurs know what it is to be healthy.

“Of course, it will always be said 'no silverware' and I understand that. But it's a wonderful period in Spurs' history. I think the fans will enjoy thinking about it."
