Southampton boss Ronald Koeman is happy counting on Toby Alderweireld.
Koeman revealed loan signing Alderweireld has no recall clause on his season-long deal to join Saints from Atletico Madrid.
The Belgium defender has replaced Liverpool capture Dejan Lovren, with Koeman holding high expectations for his new addition.
"We knew other clubs were interested in Toby, I'm very happy that he finally chose Southampton," said Koeman.
"He knows me I know him and, okay, the adaptation is a little bit easier for Toby.
"First of all it's a quality player and we are happy.
"He shows his qualities from the highest level possible, he will bring a lot of quality in the team and competition for the defenders."
