Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has reiterated his happiness to stay at the club but does not know whether he will get a new contract.

The 32-year-old is entering the final 12 months of his current deal after the club exercised a year's option last season.

The Belgian has been a key member of Mauricio Pochettino's side over the last five years and the boss sees him as vital to the development of young defenders at the club.

There has been no offer yet, but Vertonghen is not looking too far into the future.

Alderweireld seems the likeliest to stay as no club triggered the £25million clause in his contract, which expired two weeks before the British transfer window shuts.

He is still at the club, having played a full part in pre-season, and Vertonghen hopes it stays that way.

"You never know but I have played for so many years with Toby, he is a very good player and a great guy for the group," the centre-half said of his international team-mate.

"Like I said it is out of my hands but he is here now and I am happy with that."
