Alderweireld focused on Spurs
Toby Alderweireld claims he is happy and focused on Tottenham ahead of the new season as no clubs have made an approach for him.
The 30-year-old Belgium international defender has been linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in this summer transfer window.
But, despite having a £25million release clause on the 12-month contract extension he signed in December to keep him at the club until June 2020, no clubs have looked to trigger it to date.
I want to say one thing. My focus is on Spurs and I try to deliver the job I need to do - I'm happy and that's it.

And, with that cut-price fee only available until Thursday when Spurs can then determine the fee, Alderweireld appears ready to concentrate on being a part of boss Mauricio Pochettino's squad in the 2019-20 campaign.
"My focus is on Spurs and, in my head, I will be playing for Spurs," he said. "I want to say one thing. My focus is on Spurs and I try to deliver the job I need to do - I'm happy and that's it.
"In football, everything can go quick, but all I'm doing is focusing on Spurs and being fit for the start of the season.
"I think the manager knows I am committed to the club and the team, but you never know in football.
"I was captain against Juventus [in Singapore] so that shows the manager has trust in me and I'm showing the right attitude."
Alderweireld added: "I am here, I work hard and do what needs to be done and it's tough because preseason is tough.
"I do my best. Like in every club I've been at, from day one, I do my best."
Spurs are 16/1 to win the Premier League, while they are 20/1 to go one better than last season and win the Champions League.
