Euro 2016: 10 best defenders in the tournament

#7 Toby Alderweireld (Belgium)

Toby Alderweireld is expected to lead the backline in the absence of Vincent Kompany

The responsibility on the shoulders of the Spurs center back has only increased with Vincent Kompany’s injury withdrawal from Euro 2016 but expect Alderweireld to accept the challenge unfazed. He’s had two brilliant seasons in the Premier League and is an accomplished a central defender as any.

Belgium have the squad to win the Euros, and how well Alderweireld marshalls their defense will be imperative in determining their chances of taking home the trophy.
