Southampton boss Ronald Koeman is delighted with the form of on-loan Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld.
The Belgian was again superb in victory over Stoke City.
"He has been a strong influence - he has settled so well that it looks as if he has played in English football for two years already," said Koeman.
"Last season he was playing for Atletico Madrid, who probably had the best defence in Europe, and before that he was at Ajax. He has learned a lot about the game at a high level."
