​Arsenal plan to hijack Liverpool deal for Southampton defender van Dijk

Arsenal have listed Virgil van Dijk as their primary transfer target this summer.

According to the Daily Mail, the Gunners want to capitalise on Liverpool's admission of foul play when they approached van Dijk last month.

The Reds are still interested in van Dijk, but it is reported that Arsene Wenger is prepared to a launch a huge bid for the Dutchman.

It has become clear that the 25-year old wants a move away from St. Mary's, despite Saints executive Les Reeds insisting that he is not for sale.
