Premier League: Ranking the top 5 defensive duos of the current season

#4 Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen - Tottenham Hotspur

The Belgian duo is here to stay.

Tottenham are now responsible for creating the most number of world class players. From Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane and Dele Alli to the likes of Danny Rose, Keiran Trippier, and H.M Son.

But what has really made the difference is this duo of pure Belgian delight has delivered the most stunning aspects of defensive prowess, not only for their national side but also for their club.

With the veteran Toby Alderweireld, being the energetic center back, who can easily be relied upon in terms of tackling, blocking free kicks and intimidating opposition, to the more versatile Jan Vertonghen, who without needing any introduction, is an all-round defensive maestro, who knows what his job truly is, and always delivers accordingly.

Combining with the likes of Davinson Sanchez, the duo have been an important factor for Spurs, as the unbreachable defence is evident to the fact that Tottenham is now becoming the contenders for the Premier League title race. Their skills and experience always strike fear in the heart of the offence.
