We’re just under a month away from the start of the 2018 World Cup and the world is eagerly anticipating the tournament. As the domestic season has come to an end, the best players in the world are now setting their eyes on Russia. Last time we looked at Manchester, today we’re analysing the prospects of Tottenham Hotspur players in Russia.
Here are 5 Tottenham players we should watch out for in the World Cup.
4Toby Alderweireld
The 29-year-old only made 21 appearances for Tottenham this season. Some of his absences were due to injury, others came in the form of punishment for the Belgian. It’s rumoured that Alderweireld wants to leave North London in the summer and because of that, Mauricio Pochettino has ostracised him from the team.
Regardless of his inactivity, Roberto Martinez has stuck by the 29-year-old as he knows he’s one of the best defenders in world football. At the World Cup, Alderweireld is a guaranteed starter as he’s a defender that will give his offensive-minded teammates the platform to express themselves.
