Alderweireld: “Tottenham need players with a desire to grow rather than stars”
For Tottenham's signings, Alderweireld said the answer is developing players rather than big-name players Revive the team's balance with proven assets and find the key to a rebound next season
Former Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld said that what the current team needs is not bigname signings, but players with a strong desire to grow.
In an interview with a British media outlet on the 6th, Alderweireld said Tottenham should not repeat its recent poor form next season, and that strengthening the squad with players already proven in the Premier League would be the most stable approach.
He pointed out that in the past Tottenham built a team around players with a strong drive to improve, such as Harry Kane, Son Heungmin, Eric Dier, and Victor Wanyama, and emphasized that a squad made up of players who put the team before star players is more important. He also positively 평가ed the club's current direction in the transfer market.
Alderweireld joined Tottenham in 2015 and played until 2021, leading the team's defense alongside Jan Vertonghen and Hugo Lloris. He announced his retirement for the summer of 2025.
