Tottenham Hotspur have had a number of amazing central defenders over the last decade, from Toby Alderweireld to Ledley King.

The Sun reported this month that the Gunners are keen on signing Scunthorpe teenage midfielder, Joey Dawson, who happens to be the nephew of Spurs legend Michael.
Joey recently became the youngest ever debutant in Scunthorpe’s history. However, uncle Michael definitely had something to say about the rumours when he took to Alan Brazil’s show on TalkSPORT this week.
You tell him, Daws!
The former Spurs defender said (TalkSPORT 15/10/19 at 9 am): “I saw that the other day and I said ‘you’re signing for the wrong side here’!
