Liverpool and Tottenham target Toby Alderweireld has admitted he would welcome a move to the Premier League.
The 24-year-old Ajax centre back looked set to reject the advances of the English duo and opt for a move to Serie A outfit Roma instead.
However, Alderweireld has now distanced himself from a switch to Italy insisting his future lies in either the Premier League or the Bundesliga.
‘England and Germany are the best leagues where I think I can take the next step,’ he said.
‘I have to go somewhere where I can play football a bit and where my style of play suits.

‘On the other hand, I do not want to play for a team at the bottom of their league. I want to leave Ajax for a nice club, otherwise I’ll just stay in Amsterdam.’
The Belgian defender has made 181 appearances for the Dutch side winning the Eredivisie three years running, as well as the KNVB Cup.
Liverpool has been linked with Alderwiereld for some time with the Reds apparently seeing him as an excellent replacement for the retired Jamie Carragher.
Tottenham are also keen after the success compatriot Jan Vertonghen enjoyed in his first season at White Hart Lane.
