Tottenham Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Dele Alli and Toby Alderweireld

Two of Tottenham Hotspur's key players have addressed rumours about their potential departures from White Hart Lane, with Dele Alli and Toby Alderweireld pledging their immediate futures to Mauricio Pochettino's team.

Alli has been linked with a £50 million transfer to Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, but the England international said the rumours are nothing but speculation, according to Mark Crellin of Sky Sports.

The player professed his current contentment at the Lane:

"

It's all just rumours, to be honest with you.

I have just signed a new contract with Tottenham; I am happy here. I couldn't think of a better place to be at my age.

It has been a great year for me. I have had a lot of success in my career so far, but I have got to keep improving, keep getting better and make sure 2017 is even better.

Alli signed for Spurs from MK Dons in 2015, but rapidly rose to prominence to become the club's dominant attacking midfielder.

However, after a long summer on international duty, the player has found it tough to recapture his prolific form of last season.

The 20-year-old was one of English football's breakout stars last term, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists in 28 Premier League starts, according to WhoScored.com.

John Cross of the Mirror reported PSG are readying a huge offer for Alli, with Real Madrid also "fans" of the young English star.

Alderweireld has also attempted to scotch rumours of a move away from the Lilywhites. 

According to Sky Sports, the former Southampton star has dismissed reports in France claiming he has a £25.4 million release clause in his deal with Spurs.

"I signed for Tottenham for a reason and I love to play here," Alderweireld said. "I see no problem there. Whatever has been written, I am only focusing on football because that is what I love to do."

Alderweireld has emerged as one of the Premier League's best defenders over the past 12 months, and his recent spell out with injury proved how much his team will miss him when he is unavailable.

The Belgium international provides the steel and intelligence Pochettino requires to create a successful side, and his fitness over the Christmas period will be crucial to the club's success.

The defender has emerged as a leader for the London side, and his long-term involvement could be the difference between achieving a UEFA Champions League spot or ending up in the difficult waters of the Europa League next year.
