Toby Alderweireld says he is happy at Tottenham, but revealed the club have not yet handed him a new deal.

Spurs' highly-rated centre-back is contracted to the north London side until 2019 in a deal worth about £50,000 a week though the club have the option of prolonging it until 2020.

Should Alderweireld not agree a new extension before 2019, however, a £25million release clause when the Belgian is 30 will become active.

The defender's agent last month said that Spurs should give his client a "correct contract" or a transfer before Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino insisted the 28-year-old is fully committed to the club.

And Alderweireld has now echoed Pochettino's sentiments, saying he is focused on helping Spurs achieve their aims this season because he is happy at the club.

The centre-back, who joined Tottenham from Atletico Madrid in 2015, told Sky Sports News: "I had a good conversation with the manager. I told him I'm focused on football, to keep my game up and help the team.

"That's all I can do. You can see I'm happy there, and I try to help the team, and that's the way I always play football."

When then asked if he had been offered a new deal by the club, he said: "No, like I said, I am focused on football. The rest, I don't know, we will see about that."
