It has finally happened.

Tottenham Hotspur have now officially confirmed that Toby Alderweireld has signed a new contract with the club that will keep him around until at least 2023.

The 30-year-old centre-back has already made 20 appearances in the ongoing 2019/20 campaign for Spurs and has mustered 179 appearances since joining the team from Atletico Madrid in 2015.

Needless to say, loads of fans were absolutely delighted with this piece of news and were gushing over it on social media and Twitter, showering the defender with praise and just enjoying the moment.

You can see some of their initial reactions down below:

Of course, this has arrived as an early Christmas present for many of them, as it seems, and they also seem to think there's only one man to thank for that - Jose Mourinho.

The Special One's magic did the trick and many of the supporters believe it was actually the Portuguese manager who ultimately convinced him to stay put at Spurs.

But his job is not nearly done, as one fan also pointed out, since both Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen's contracts need sorting in the near future as well.

We'll have to wait and see whether the Mourinho effect will be enough to land them two more signatures before time runs out.
