#2 Toby Alderweireld
Trending
Toby Alderwiereld, Tottenham’s Belgian centre-back, is arguably the best defender in the Premier League and has been for the past two seasons. A player who is the best in the league at what he does must be kept.
It is no surprise that since the Belgian arrived at Spurs, their defence has improved enormously. He has played excellently in both a three and a two, proving he is a versatile centre-back. Additionally, his passing skills are not to be underestimated, as he is a very accomplished player with the ball at his feet.
Alongside his Belgian teammate Jan Vertonghen, he has built a formidable partnership, making him one of Spurs’ prised possessions. Despite him being a defender, a position where players mainly receive criticism, he has been someone who has only received positive reviews since his arrival at England.
Keeping out goals is just as important as scoring them, which means Alderweireld is crucial to Tottenham’s title hopes.
