Top 10 most underrated footballers in the world right now

#5 Toby Alderweireld

Spurs have missed the services of the Belgian this season

Another Tottenham Hotspur player making this list is Toby Alderweireld. One could actually make a great case about the Belgian being the best defender in the world. The most painful fact, however, is that he is rarely talked of in a discussion - at least among the fans.

His name doesn’t induce the same thrill as it does for defenders like Sergio Ramos or Gerard Pique. Last season and the season before that as well, Tottenham conceded the least number of goals in the Premier League.

While they might have conceded a lot more this season, it just further emphasises the importance of the former Southampton defender as he has been injured for most part of this season.
