da realsbet： Earlier this week, we posed a curious question to Tottenham Hotspur fans – which of their supremely talented Belgian duo is the better centre-half?
da bet vitoria： It’s a pretty contentious debate; while Toby Alderweireld has vastly improved the Lilywhites defensively since arriving from Southampton, Jan Vertonghen – who Transfermarkt value at £25.2million – has been remarkably reliable during his six seasons in north London.
Likewise, whereas the former offers a fantastic reading of the game, quality on the ball and physicality, the latter’s skill set is further enhanced by the fact he’s one of the few top-class left-footed centre-backs around – offering Tottenham unique balance when in possession.
Unsurprisingly, our poll was a close-kit affair, but it was Vertonghen who eventually came out on top, winning 57% of the vote. That’s perhaps due to the 97-cap international’s involvement in another clean sheet for the Lilywhites last Sunday in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Alderweireld, meanwhile, is currently sidelined through injury and it’s yet to be confirmed whether he’ll recover in time for the North London derby following the international break.
