Liverpool and Tottenham target Toby Alderweireld has revealed he would be interested in moving to a high-profile Premier League club this summer.
Alderweireld is set to leave Ajax and move abroad ahead of next season, and has admitted he is attracted at the prospect of playing in England.
Liverpool have been linked with the Dutch centre-back as they bid to bring in defensive additions this summer, while Tottenham have looked at the 24-year-old as a potential replacement for the departing William Gallas.
And despite interest from Russia and Portgual, Alderweireld wants to make his next move to a club in England or Germany."That is not my preference," he told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. "England and Germany are the best leagues where I think I can take the next step.
"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."
Liverpool and Tottenham would appear to fit Alderweireld's criteria, who is valued at around £8 million.
