Southampton defender Toby Alderweireld has welcomed interest from bigger clubs.

The Belgian, on-loan at Saints from Atletico Madrid, has been linked with Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool in recent days.

Alderweireld said: "I cannot deny that it's nice to hear about yourself in a positive way. I'm fine in the Premier League, but I have no news of concrete contacts.

"Atletico can take me back because I still have two years of my contract to run, Southampton can buy me, another club can make an offer.

"Whatever happens, it seems that it will be another hot summer for me."
