Tottenham’s dream spine come February

One of the best centre-backs in the Premier League in recent seasons, defender Toby Alderweireld has grown into an integral member of the Spurs backline.

The Belgian international moved to White Hart Lane in 2015 after a successful season with Southampton, and immediately set about replicating his Saints form at Spurs, and was arguably the best defender in the division last season.

The 27-year-old was part of the Tottenham defence that conceded just 35 goals last term, the least alongside Manchester United, and, despite injury this time round, he is key to this Spurs team.

A defence with Alderweireld in it always has a good chance of keeping oppositions out, and thus keeping clean sheets.
