Alderweireld’s agent has also claimed he could look to leave the north Londoners next summer, with a number of elite European teams interested.
The Belgium international has since held talks with boss Mauricio Pochettino.
But negotiations are yet to get underway, leaving Alderweireld’s long-term future in doubt.
However, the 28-year-old is adamant he’s happy at Tottenham for now and is waiting to see what the future has in store regarding a new contract.
Alderweireld told Sky Sports: “I had a good conversation with the manager. I told him I’m focused on football, to keep my game up and help the team.
“That’s all I can do. You can see I’m happy there, and I try to help the team, and that’s the way I always play football.
“(A contract offer?) No, like I said, I am focused on football. The rest, I don’t know, we will see about that.”
Alderweireld also praised team-mate and compatriot Jan Vertonghen, who is set to become Belgium’s most-capped player in history, adding: “We’ll be very proud of him if he achieves this. It will be a great honour. Hopefully, we can celebrate it.”
