In my head I just go to Tottenham. We will see," he told Nieuwsblad.  "I was very focused on [the World Cup]. I wanted to prove  something again. Show that the period before the tournament in which I  did not play – for whatever reason – was unjustified.  "I wanted to show that I am still the same Toby as in November."I was happy that I could still play four or five matches for the World Cup. I immediately had a good feeling."Physically there was no problem, because it was just my only major  injury from my career. I spent only three or four months [injured] in my  entire career."I have to touch wood, but I cannot complain about that. I'm glad I could come back in this way."Spurs finished third in 2017-18, three points behind second-placed  United, with Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez regularly deployed as  their starting centre-backs.Alderweireld's current contract expires in 2019.</blockquote>
