Arsenal, Tottenham target van Dijk open to Celtic exit

Arsenal and Tottenham target Virgil van Dijk has dropped a huge hint that he may be on his way out of Celtic in the summer.

The central defender is rated £10million by Celtic and it appears that the Scottish champions would be willing to listen to offers at the end of the season if the right the right one were to come along.

The 23-year old Dutchman, who still has two years of his contract left, indicated that his head may be turned if such clubs as the Gunners, Spurs and Southampton go after him.

"Celtic are a great club with a fantastic stadium and the fans are great," he said in an interview with a Dutch radio station.

"But the competition is not too good. I want to develop.

"If the opportunity is there, I would definitely consider a transfer. But maybe there will be nothing."
