Tottenham stars Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld set for Spurs tour amid ongoing transfer speculation

Tottenham duo Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld are preparing to travel to Singapore on Wednesday, despite ongoing uncertainty over their futures.

Spurs begin their pre-season against Juventus there on Sunday before travelling to Shanghai to play Manchester United on July 25.

Eriksen has said he would like a new challenge and Real Madrid are monitoring developments , while Alderweireld can leave for £25million before July 26 and is a target for AS Roma.

Both players are expected to be named in the touring squad, although Eric Dier has been ruled out after undergoing a medical procedure last week.

Teammate Jan Vertonghen, who arrived from Ajax like Eriksen, said last month that he hoped the Dane chose to remain at Spurs next season.

"Obviously when the transfer window starts there are a lot of rumours, but there were rumours last year and everyone stayed together, so I'm hopeful,” Vertonghen told Sky Sports News.

"Christian is a great player. I have known him since he was 16, played with him since he was 16 or 17 [at Ajax] and I hope he's with Tottenham next season. He's an exceptional player."
