Toby Alderweireld says he expects to start the 2019-20 season as a Tottenham player.

The Belgium international has been linked with a move away from the club during the close season, with Roma reportedly interested in signing the 30 year old.

Alderweireld captained Spurs in their 3-2 International Champions Cup win over Juventus on Sunday and insists he is not looking to leave and is fully focused on the forthcoming Premier League campaign.

Alderweireld was an integral part of Tottenham’s squad last season, making 34 Premier League appearances and featuring 12 times in their run to the Champions League final, where they were ultimately beaten by Liverpool.

He admits that things can change quickly in football but believes manager Maurucio Pochettino is in no doubt about his commitment to the club.
