Football transfer rumours: Toby Alderweireld to Manchester United

Today’s tell-all gives me chills and we ain’t even close yet

Considering Manchester United are still occasionally forced to rely on defences entirely sourced by Sir Alex Ferguson, it’s no surprise to learn that José Mourinho is in the market for a few more decent stoppers he can call his own. Having gone rogue at Tottenham last season, Toby Alderweireld features prominently on José’s summer shopping list and The Mirror reports that talks have begun between the two clubs over a potential switch. A rather exorbitant £75m is the fee being mentioned for the 29-year-old Belgian. In the event of Alderweireld’s seemingly inevitable departure, Tottenham may try to replace him with West Brom central defender Ahmed Hegazi, who is also wanted by Leicester and West Ham. Salomón Rondón is one of several players likely to leave the Hawthorns, with both Atlético Madrid and Inter believed to be interested in signing the busy Venezuelan.
