Tottenham are confident securing Toby Alderweireld to a new contract.

The Sun says Spurs are growing increasingly confident that Alderweireld will sign a new contract extension at the club.

The Belgium centre-back's deal runs out in the summer but there is a belief at Spurs that he will agree fresh terms.

Alderweireld, 30, was free to leave for £25million in the summer window due to a clause in his deal but remained in Mauricio Pochettino's squad.

Manchester United and City were candidates to take him but Harry Maguire, 26, was seen as a long-term investment at Old Trafford.

Pep Guardiola needed cover after Vincent Kompany's departure but he instead earmarked midfielder Fernandinho as a back-up centre-half.
