Feyenoord midfielder Tonny Vilhena admits he was frustrated missing out on a move to Southampton last season.
Saints boss Ronald Koeman offered €2.4 million for Vilhena last January, but Feyenoord refused to do business.
"I admit that I would have liked to have played for Ronald. I like him," says the midfielder.
"But if it cannot happen, what can I do?"
Adds Vilhena: "I'm not someone who then seeks a quarrel. It's what I always say: I just want to play football and prefer it with Feyenoord."
