Former Ajax star Ronald de Boer believes a move to Al Duhail is a good decision for Toby Alderweireld.

The Belgium defender is leaving Tottenham for the Qataris after an offer of €13m was accepted this morning.

"I played football there with my brother and other top players like Pep Guardiola, Gabriel Batistuta, Marcel Desailly and Sonny Anderson," says De Boer to Het Nieuwsblad.

“In those years there was no question of any of us being able to stay as internationals from his country.

“We were all 34-35 years old. But Toby is 32. Of course the level is lower, but I don't see why he can't keep his level if he takes good care of himself and is spared from injuries. The World Cup in Qatar is already there next year. I don't think this season will make a big difference."
