Post: Alderweireld is suspected of participating in Belgium’s “King of Masked Singer” and he has not denied it

According to the "Daily Mail" report, former Tottenham defender Alderweireld is suspected of participating in the Belgian version of "The Masked Singer", sparking heated discussions about whether he plays the role of "Owl".

This summer, Alderweireld announced his retirement, ending his 17-year career in European football. Alderweireld played for Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Southampton, Tottenham and Antwerp before retiring. During his six seasons at Spurs, he became a legend in north London, partnering compatriot Jan Vertonghen at centre-back. It was also during their time at Tottenham that Alderweireld and Vertonghen became one of the most stable central defender partnerships in European football.

However, after retiring, Alderweireld showed a completely different talent. In Belgium, speculation about who the character "The Owl" is in "The Masked Singer" sparked lively discussion among television viewers on Saturday night. The contestant won the hearts of the audience with her outstanding singing ability and gorgeous performance. In the latest episode last weekend, his rendition of The Killers' classic "Mr. Brightside" won unanimous praise from the judges.

There are rumors that Alderweireld is the "Owl". The former international did not deny this in interviews with Belgian media this week. He said: "I've been asked this question a few times (about the Owls). I know the question, but who knows? Who knows? Do I have a clear answer? Well, I don't know. So maybe that's my answer."

Alderweireld joined Tottenham from Atletico Madrid in 2015 and made 236 appearances for the team in all competitions. He was one of the key players in the North London team's 2019 Champions League final. After leaving Tottenham, he briefly played for Al-Duhail in Qatar before returning to his hometown club Antwerp where he spent three seasons, making 134 appearances. In the last game of the 2022-23 season, he used a wonderful long-range shot to help the team win the first league championship in 66 years.
