Chelsea plan swap bid for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk

Chelsea are ready to move for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk.

The Sun says Chelsea could use Nathan Ake in a swap deal to land Southampton star Van Dijk.

The Blues want to strengthen their defence and Van Dijk is on their wish-list.

The Dutch star will cost more than £50m so Antonio Conte could sweeten the deal by including Ake in the offer.
