#2 Alderweireld to United
Toby Alderweireld is another Footballer who had a stellar World Cup and caught Mourinho’s eye. The Belgian was fabulous for his country in the FIFA Tournament and looks the most likely defender to join Manchester United.
The outcome of this transfer business will have its effect on the Harry Maguire story and the Chris Smalling/Marcos Rojo story as well. Manchester United have been linked to Alderweireld ever since the Maguire story settled down, but Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy is known to be a tough negotiator.
There were brief reports of Yerry Mina of Barcelona and Jerome Boateng of Bayern but there was no concrete advances. Mirror recently reported that Spurs were initially holding out for £75m, but a price of £60m had been agreed between the clubs.
However, Goal now reports that Tottenham are currently looking for a replacement for Toby and once that deal happens, Alderweireld should be free to join United. This looks like the most like deal to go through before the end of the Transfer Window.
