Southampton defender Toby Alderweireld has made it clear he wants to continue in England.

Alderweireld, 26, is heading back to Atletico Madrid for talks about his long-term future following a year at St Mary's, with the Saints facing competition from Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham.

He said: “The only thing I can say is that I'm happy in England, but it isn't just up to me.

“I had a fantastic season at Southampton and after I have been on holiday I will talk with Atletico.

“I don't have an answer now, but hopefully Atletico will tell me quickly what is happening. It would be good to come back to England."
