Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has revealed a return to his first club Ajax is '100 per cent in his head'.
The Belgian is entering the final year of his contract with the north London club and has failed to agree on an extension.
He could leave for around £25million this summer as a result, with Manchester United one of the clubs interested in him.
But the 30-year-old has hinted strongly that he would favour a return to Ajax, whom Tottenham beat 3-2 on Wednesday night to reach the final of the Champions League.
He told Voetbal International: 'I don't want to make too popular statements, but it is certainly 100 per cent in my head.
'I have had wonderful times here with three championships, but also lows. But my family was happy here too.'
Alderweireld emerged from the prestigious Ajax academy to make a first-team debut in 2009 and went on to make 186 appearances for the Amsterdam club over the next five seasons.
He left for Atletico Madrid in 2013 in a transfer worth £6.16million before coming to Tottenham in 2015.
Tottenham have triggered a one-year extension in his current contract through until 2020 but that activated a £25m release clause.
United, Arsenal and Juventus are among the leading clubs linked with Alderweireld as a result.
