Alderweireld urges Belgium mate Batshuayi to join him at Tottenham

Toby Alderweireld would love Michy Batshuayi to make the move to Tottenham this summer.

The Belgian striker is being heavily linked with Spurs but Chelsea are believed to have made a move while West Ham United are also keen.

Regarding the possible move to White Hart Lane, Spurs defender Alderweireld admits he is open to linking up with the talented 22-year-old Marseille striker.

"Do I hope Batshuayi comes to Tottenham? Yes of course," said Alderweireld.

"He has a lot of qualities.

"The problem of course is that at that position Tottenham already has Harry Kane, while there is a lot of interest for Batshuayi [from other clubs]."
