On-loan Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld is enjoying his football with Southampton.
Saints possess an option to buy Alderweireld next summer and it is hard to imagine the club not wanting to make his centre-half partnership with Jose Fonte more permanent if they can.
"We talk a lot. Jose is experienced, I have experience and that helps us," Alderweireld told the Daily Echo.
"It is not just two, it is the defence, it is the midfield, it is the attackers - we defend very well as a team.
"All the credit is not to Jose or me, it is the whole team."
