Dutch ace Virgil van Dijk looks to have taken matters into his own hands regarding a potential summer move to Liverpool. The 26-year-old, who has been chased by the Merseyside club all year, is desperate to complete a switch to Anfield after a summer of uncertainty led to The Saints reporting their Premier League rivals for making an illegal approach for the player.
 

After an embarrassing climb down which saw Liverpool issue an official apology, The Sun claims that the player himself, who reported back to pre-season training under new boss Mauricio Pellegrino earlier this month, will now instigate a move out of St Mary’s.
 

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is determined to get his man with latest reports suggesting that the German is willing to smash the club’s transfer record to bring van Dijk to Anfield. The journal also reports that despite the wall put up by Saints chairman Ralph Krueger, a bid of £70M is unlikely to be rejected.
