It has been difficult to get away from news reports about Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld.
The Belgian international’s future has made headlines in recent weeks as he is yet to sign a new contract at the club.
The situation has attracted interest from rival supporters, with Manchester United fans keen to snap up the 29-year-old.
Some Tottenham supporters are worried at the prospect of losing Alderweireld, but others have begun to question why his centre-back partner is not regarded as just as important to the team.
Jan Vertonghen has been a reliable figure at the back for the North London outfit, and he has been playing alongside his fellow Belgian since 2015.
The 30-year-old joined Spurs from Ajax in 2012 and has become a regular feature in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
This season, Alderweireld has been restricted to just 10 Premier League starts due to hamstring problems, while Vertonghen has played in all but one of the club’s top-flight fixtures.
During a discussion on Reddit, Tottenham fans debated the individual importance of the defenders.
