Southampton are reportedly already looking for replacements for the centre-back amid fears that they will not be able to convince him to remain at St. Mary's.

Van Dijk could cost Liverpool as much as £50million, which would be tough for the Saints to turn down.

Southampton are already lining up Leeds defender Pontus Jansson to take the Dutchman's place at the heart of the defence.

It is said that a centre-back will be Jurgen Klopp's No.1 priority this summer

should just sign Jansson thus cutting out the middleman & 2 years <whistle>
 
Some online sites reporting Ox is signed for just under £30m with VVD due for talks soon. Don't know how reliable sites like 90 Minutes are.

Nobody will sign for anyone until the dust has settled on the European spots.

VVD would be a massive signing for us as long as we're not buying a crock!
 
Thing with Ox is that does offer cover in number of positions. I think he looks good in CM being able to get the ball and drive forward with it. But he could go wide to cover Cout or Mane if needed as is tricky on the ball and can beat a man.

For £20m I'd happily take him. He's not a star but we don't necessarily need stars, need players that'll fit the work ethic and give us different options and he's certainly different from what we have. With European football certainly need more bodies that won't weaken the first team.

Agreed. He'd be a useful addition to the squad....how many times could we have used him this season?
 
Would spending £30m on the ox really be that bad? Isn't our money and that's the going rate for young English talent. He still very young and I think Klopp would turn him into some player.

I'd actually be excited if we were to sign him
 
He is a very talented player no doubt. In my mind hes not got a brain so probably wont make it into that top bracket. He has impressed me this year though when all the other years I've thought he was a bit meh. Hes probably a player i would take a risk on but his injury record leaves a lot to be desired. Wouldnt pay 30 personally but dont believe its outrageous in todays market
