Many Arsenal fans went into meltdown after it was reported that Toby Alderweireld had turned down the offer of a new contract at Tottenham this week.

Alderweireld has made 103 appearances for Spurs since arriving at White Hart Lane back in 2015 and the 28-year-old defender is tied into a deal until the summer of 2020.

However, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Belgian has rejected Tottenham’s most recent advances to get him on a new contract in north London ahead of the summer transfer window.

It’s believed Alderweireld has a release clause of around £25million at White Hart Lane which has put a number of top European clubs of red alert.

Manchester United, in particular, are expressing a strong interest in the ex-Southampton man who is widely regarded to be among the best central defenders in the Premier League.

Serie A giants Inter Milan are also understood to be keen on Alderweireld but a large section of Gooners are urging Arsene Wenger to ‘do another Sol Campbell’ at the end of the season.

Here’s how they reacted to the most recent speculation…
