Southampton didn't receive a single formal offer for in-demand centre-back Virgil van Dijk, according to Yahoo Sport.

The Dutch defender was one of the most talked about players in the recently-concluded transfer window and was linked with almost every major club in the league.

Liverpool were especially interested in the player, but they ended their interest after the Saints accused them of tapping up their player.

The Reds were expected to make a late move for the 26-year-old, but an offer never came from the Merseyside club.
