Tottenham Hotspur fans have been debating the future of Toby Alderweireld on Twitter.

The central defender has a £25million release clause in his contract and could depart Spurs this summer.

Alderweireld's current contract expires at the end of next season but Spurs will be unable to reject a bid if it triggers the aforementioned clause.

Nevertheless, the Belgium international has not been phased out under manager Mauricio Pochettino this season, making a total of 40 appearances in all competitions.

Indeed, Pochettino has trusted the defender in many of Spurs' biggest games this season; he played in both Champions League group stage matches against Barcelona and also played 90 minutes in each of the last-16 ties against Borussia Dortmund, as Spurs won 4-0 on aggregate.

He has missed just three Premier League outings this term - against Newcastle United, Arsenal and Southampton - and many fans have been impressed with his dedication even with a summer move seemingly looming.

Debating his future on Twitter, many believe he has even earned the right to choose his next destination himself, while others are hoping he moves abroad instead of to a domestic rival. And some are still hopeful that he could choose to stick around. Take a look at the best of the reaction below!
