Ian Wright urges Liverpool to sign Tottenham star Toby Alderweireld to help Arsenal
ARSENAL legend Ian Wright wants Liverpool to sign Toby Alderweireld to weaken Tottenham and help the Gunners.
Alderweireld has been linked with an exit from Tottenham, with his contract expiring in the summer of 2018.
Firmly with his Arsenal hat on, Wright says Liverpool signing the Belgian defender would give Arsene Wenger’s side a better chance of beating Spurs.
“I’m just interested, I can’t wait to see Liverpool’s business in the summer,” Wright told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“I’m so excited about that. I think they are a couple away, a couple away.
