Spurs sign Atletico’s Belgian defender Alderweireld

TOTTENHAM Hotspur has signed Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld on a five-year contract, the English Premier League club said yesterday.

The 26-year-old spent last season on loan with Southampton, making 26 Premier League appearances, and had been linked in media reports with a permanent move to St Mary’s. But the Belgium international will join countrymen Jan Vertonghen, Moussa Dembele and Nacer Chadli at White Hart Lane after joining Spurs for a fee reported to be around 11.5 million pounds (US$17.69 million). “I’m very proud to be a Tottenham player. I’m happy to be here and hope to have a wonderful time with this team,” he said. He started his career at Ajax in the Netherlands, before moving to Atletico in 2013.
