Liverpool have reached an agreement with Southampton over the signing of defender, Virgil van Dijk both clubs have announced. The fee is thought to be £75m, which would trump the previous amount ever paid for a central defender.
The 26 year old was at the centre of a disagreement between both clubs in the summer which resulted in Liverpool being reported to the Premier League by Southampton for an illegal approach.
The transfer which is expected to be sealed on January 1st, continues a trend that have seen several players from Southampton move to Liverpool over the years.
Virgil van Dijk would be a quality addition to a Liverpool defence that is known more for their inability to defend than for their attacking talents which continues to deliver the goods.
With a part of the jigsaw now complete, those of Liverpool persuasion would be looking forward to an improvement on the club's other grey area which the goalkeeping position. Where the Merseyside's two major players between the stick have repeatedly failed to impress.
