Toby Alderweireld open to Tottenham Hotspur stay after Jose Mourinho's arrival?

Toby Alderweireld is reportedly considering remaining at Tottenham Hotspur beyond this season following the arrival of Jose Mourinho.

The Belgian, who was available to buy for £25m last summer due a clause in his contract, will leave for free at the end of this season as things currently stand.

Following nearly five years at Spurs, Alderweireld refused to pen a new contract last term due to feeling like he needed a new challenge.

However, according to The Telegraph, the arrival of Mourinho on Wednesday has reinvigorated the defender, who will now consider making a U-turn over his future.

Reports have claimed that Mourinho will speak personally with Alderweireld, whom he views as part of his plans at the North London club.

The 56-year-old, who became Spurs boss on Wednesday, was keen on signing the 30-year-old during his time as Manchester United manager.
