Toby Alderweireld: the defender impressed this season on loan from Atletico Madrid

Southampton's on-loan defender Toby Alderweireld admits he has no idea where he will be plying his trade next season.

Alderweireld, 26, joined Saints on a season-long loan from Spanish champions Atletico Madrid last summer.

The Belgium international has figured prominently under Ronald Koeman, and Southampton have an option to make his deal permanent in the summer, although Atletico can pay a small fee to negate that clause.

Either way, the defender says he is yet to make a decision on his future.

“In any case, that they speak well of one does not hurt anyone. If they speak well of me that signifies that I am having a good season,” Alderweireld told Fan magazine.

“I am not going to hide it – it is nice to read this kind of stuff. I feel good in the Premier League, but I have no idea about any concrete interest.

"Atletico can make me return because I still have two more years on my contract, Southampton can buy me, another club can make an offer…

“It seems, at least, that it is going to be another hectic summer for me.”
