Liverpool legend Jan Molby has stated that Southampton star Virgil van Dijk would be a very good fit at any top club.

Van Dijk joined Southampton from Celtic last season and since moving to the St. Mary's Stadium, the 25-year-old has proceeded to establish himself as one of the finest centre-backs in Europe with a number of consistent performances.

Due to his exploits over the past 18 months or so, van Dijk has managed to garner the attention of some of the best clubs in Europe, such as Liverpool, Manchester City and PSG, among others, and Reds great Molby has now stated his belief that the Dutch international would thrive any of the top six Premier League clubs.

Molby wrote in his column for the Liverpool Echo: "I can't imagine any club in the world who would not want Southampton's Virgil van Dijk. He has it all.

"He's a good reader of the game, he can defend when he has to, he's good in the air, he's a real asset in both penalty areas but I also like his passing ability, not just the fact he's comfortable with the ball but the things that he sees and he's capable of executing those passes.

"I think he's a super player. There's a real shortage of centre-halves generally throughout the game and by that I mean people who have a little bit of everything. He has a lot of everything and he has to be of interest to any top club in Europe.

"Very rarely do you get a player like him who is so suited to all six top clubs in England. If you look at how they play they could all do with a Virgil van Dijk and they will all be interested. And he will leave. I'm not sure he will leave in January, I think he'll leave in the summer.

"And Liverpool should very much show an interest. For all that's we're happy with what we've got, he's an improvement and he'd be an improvement for all top six clubs. Southampton didn't pay a huge amount for him, and credit to Ronald Koeman for that, but he's improved since and I think he has the temperament and the ability to improve as he steps up."
