"Manchester United are amongst his suitors" - Club legend confirms Red Devils want to sign £75m-rated Premier League defender

By

Former Tottenham Hotspur star Jermaine Jenas says Spurs should consider selling defender Toby Alderweireld during the summer transfer window.

The Englishman was full of praise for the 29-year-old but believes Mauricio Pochettino's men managed to perform even when he was out injured urging his former club to take in consideration any offers coming in.

Recent reports have claimed that Manchester United have already opened talks to sign him and that the player has an estimated market value of £75million.

"I love Toby, he is a phenomenal player and Tottenham are better when he is in the team," Jenas told Yahoo! Sport.

"But he is approaching his 30th birthday and I know how Daniel Levy operates at Spurs when a player gets towards that age. The wage demands, what they can afford and where they need to prioritise and maybe Alderweireld doesn't fit into that structure.

"Also, when I said that Spurs had to do everything they could to hang on to Alderweireld, I was not thinking Davinson Sanchez would have had as good as season as he has just had.

"That Spurs defence looked pretty solid for most of the campaign and Sanchez was a key part of that, so the club may look at how much it would cost to keep Alderweireld and believe they have a better value for money option in Sanchez. In many respects, I probably agree with that.

"I would love Toby to stay because I believe he is the best defender in the world when he is right at it, but we will see where it goes from here. I'm sure there will be plenty of big clubs trying to sign him, with Manchester United believed to be among those."
