The main reason why Spurs have failed to achieve their objective of qualifying for Champions league is the inconsistent and weak defense.
In the past two season, Tottenham have conceded more than 50 goals in the Premier League.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino is eager to fix the back line and has probably made that his priority in this summer transfer window and Tottenham have sealed triple deal to finally solve the defensive dilemma. Well hopefully!
Spurs have lured two key signings thus far and both have been defenders. Walker has been highly inconsistent at right back for Spurs and the North Londoners have lured a quality player in Kieran Trippier from relegated side Burnley.
Moreover, Spurs also secured the signing of a young talented central defender in the form of Kevin Wimmer.
More importantly, Spurs have officially confirmed that accomplished center half Toby Alderweireled has agreed 5 year deal to move to White Hart Lane.
Toby was rock solid for Southampton last season as the Saints had second best defensive record (conceded 33 goals) in the Premier League and qualified for Europe.
Tottenham conceded 20 more goals than Southampton in PL and Alderweireled has the quality to become the defensive leader at White Hart Lane.
Expect Wimmer to be on the bench with two Belgian stars Vertonghen and Alderweireled lining up in central defense.

Play wimmer right back with trippier left back
We all love new toys . Let’s see what we got before we start juggling the back four to fit in all three .
Why would you put Wimmer (a natural left center back and can also play left back on the right and put a right back in the left back spot? Weird.
