Toby Alderweireld

Heard any rumours? This is the place to discuss potential transfer targets.

Toby Alderweireld

Postby Verminator5 » Wed Aug 21, 2013 3:30 pm

Arsenal are ready to launch a £6million bid for coveted Ajax centre-half Toby Alderweireld.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger wants to strengthen his defence and has entered the race for the Belgium international.

The 24-year-old defender has also been linked with Tottenham and Everton this summer but Spartak Moscow are believed to the leading contenders to sign the player, who has less than 12 months remaining on his contract.

Alderweireld, however, has set his heart on a move to the Premier League and would prefer to play in London.

If he joins Arsenal he would team up with fellow Belgian Thomas Vermaelen and if he becomes Spurs’ latest recruit he would be reunited with Belgium international and former Ajax defensive partner Jan Vertonghen.

Arsenal’s defence has been considered to be their Achilles heel over the last few seasons but Wenger has remained loyal to his players, refusing to bring in new additions this summer.

That caused uproar at the Emirates after a 3-1 opening day defeat to Aston Villa with fans calling for their club to ‘spend, spend, spend’.

I don't know if it's a realiable source but Belgian sources tell the same.

Ok defender for a club like Everton, Swansea, Roma, etc but currently not good enough to play for Arsenal, yes even for this current Arsenal team.

He's cheap and versatile, which might just be what we need right now.

With the world cup coming up next year I think he wants to join a team where he's a regular.

Why do we need cheap? Why don't we fill the gap with a CB that's better than anybody else at the club and actually improve the overall strength of the squad?

We have the monies...

I think he is a good defender at CB and RB. Maybe not a top defender but he has a great mentality and he can be a good alternative when a defender gets injured or suspended. So I would be happy with a player like Alderweireld in the team.

He turned down Norwich because he want's the glamour of being at a big club. We could easilly get him. Would rather have Mamadou Sakho though if we want a versatile CB, which we bloody well should do!

Sakho isn't versatile. He's a potential powerhouse CB.
