Tottenham ace Toby Alderweireld is 2/1 for shock Barcelona switch in January
Belgium international would be brought in to bolster Barca's defence as his contract expires in the summer
TOBY ALDERWEIRELD is just 2/1 to join Barcelona in January.
The Tottenham defender's current deal expires at the end of the season and there is no sign of him renewing his contract.
The La Liga champions are looking to bolster their defensive options and sign him for a cut price in January.
Their search for reinforcements is underway with Samuel Umtiti out until the new year while Thomas Vermaelen is out for at least six weeks.
The Belgium international has regained his place in Mauricio Pochettino's starting XI after struggling for fitness last term.
Manchester United have been strongly linked with the 29-year-old but now a move to the Nou Camp appears more likely to the bookies.
Alex Apati of said: "It looks as though Barca will be bringing in at least one centre-half in January, and the latest odds suggests that's bad news for Spurs and their fans."
Barcelona only have Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet fit at the moment, with an El Clasico clash coming up at the end of the month.
This injury crisis could force Ernesto Valverde into a launching a bid for Alderweireld in the new year.
