Arsenal still keen on Tottenham star?

North London outfit Arsenal are still being linked with a move for Tottenham central defender Toby Alderweireld ahead of the coming summer transfer window.

Toby Alderweireld has been rumoured to be leaving the North London outfit since the last summer transfer window with former Man United manager Jose Mourinho but the deal did not work through.

However, it is claimed that Toby Alderweireld is keen to leave Tottenham for other challenges elsewhere with a number of teams hoping to land him in this summer window.

Toby Alderweireld has been tipped to cost £25 million which the Gunners should be able to meet because of his level of experience and exposure.

Meanwhile, it is unclear if Toby Alderweireld is the deal the Arsenal team will want to bring in due to his old age as Unai Emery seems to be ready to work with younger players and the Tottenham defender is over 30.

The Gunners are, however, keen on new defenders, having conceded more goals than any of the top-six teams.

Manager Unai Emery is keen to compete for the English Premier League title in the coming season and that will only be made possible if he adds more strength to his team when the summer window is reopened.
