Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk is delighted with his Holland call-up.

Van Dijk has stunned Dutch critics over his success since leaving the Eredivisie.

"I'm a winner. Whether it is playing the beautiful game or the ugly game, I do not give a s***. It's just about football and playing well for the team," said Van Dijk.

The former Celtic defender holds no grudge against people who could not see him making it.

"I am really grateful that I now have a career."
