Tottenham are hoping to re-enter contract talks with 30-year-old defender Toby Alderweireld following the expiration of his £25m release clause on Thursday.

Tottenham Hotspur are planning to reopen contract talks with Toby Alderweireld, according to a report.

The Belgian was widely expected to leave White Hart Lane this summer, but neither Roma or Manchester United decided to match his £25m release clause.

With that clause having expired on Thursday afternoon, The Mirror claim that Tottenham are now hoping that the 30-year-old has seen sufficient progress from the Lilywhites to sign a new deal.

Alderweireld's current contract expires next summer, meaning that he will be free to speak to foreign clubs in January.

Earlier this week he said: "Do I think I will be a Spurs player at the start of the season? That's my focus."

The defender made 50 appearances for Spurs last season and played a big part in the club reaching their first ever Champions League final.
