Southampton fullback Ryan Bertrand admits Virgil van Dijk wanted to join Liverpool over the summer.

But Bertrand now insists there are no hard feelings towards Van Dijk.

"It is nice to keep hold of players," he told Sky Sports.

"There were no bad vibes in the dressing room. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and what they want to do in their lives, but we just get on with it and play as a team.

"He has clearly stated that there are some big teams involved and wanted him and he just wanted to go on and pursue his career and move on to really big things.

"But he had a contract with Southampton and it did not happen. The club did not want to sell him and that is it, that is football."
