Juventus 'sounding out Toby Alderweireld, Christian Eriksen swoop'

Juventus are reportedly sounding out the possibility of a double swoop for Tottenham Hotspur duo Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld next summer.

Both players are in the final year of their contracts at Spurs and have failed to strike a fresh agreement with the club, making it likely that they will become free agents next summer.

The Old Lady were linked with a last-minute approach for Eriksen this window, while reports also suggested that the club had explored the possibility of activating Alderweireld's £25m release clause - which expired on June 30 - earlier in the summer.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Juventus are now eyeing up the prospect of securing both players on free transfers next summer.

The Serie A champions have a reputation for making shrewd free signings, acquiring Aaron Ramsey, Adrien Rabiot and Emre Can for nothing in recent times.

Reports have also claimed that Inter Milan will rival Juventus for the signature of Alderweireld next year, with the Nerazzurri making contact with the Belgian's representatives this month.
