Celtic defender Van Dijk wants to join Koeman's Southampton

Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk is keen to join Ronald Koeman's Southampton.

The Mirror says Van Dijk is keen to play for his fellow Dutchman Koeman at Southampton.

The 23-year-old Celtic defender is also wanted by Sunderland and Swansea, but Van Dijk would prefer to work with the Saints' new boss.

Celtic want at least £10million for the centre-back, but Southampton, set to rake in around double that amount from the sale of their Croatia defender Dejan Lovren to Liverpool, can easily afford that.
