Former Chelsea striker wants van Dijk at Stamford Bridge

14 ago 2017

Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes that Blues boss Antonio Conte needs to make more additions to his side in order to compete for a second consecutive Premier League title, including Southampton defender and Liverpool target Virgil van Dijk. This is according to the Daily Star.

The Pensioners got off to a bad start in their Premier League campaign, losing to Burnley 3-2 at Turf Moor. This has fuelled the notion that the club are in need of new players to mount a serious title challenge, despite already bringing in Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Antonio Rudiger and Willy Caballero to West London this summer.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, he said: "I would love to see Van Dijk [at Chelsea]. They need somebody like that.
"They need fresh blood.

Van Dijk wants a move away from his current side and already has Liverpool in waiting, so the Blues would have to battle it out with the Merseyside club for his signature.
