Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier is demanding Virgil van Dijk drop all thoughts of quitting St Mary's in January.

Southampton, managed to fend off interest from Liverpool but interest in taking the 26-year-old away from St Mary's remains hot and Jurgen Klopp will move again once the window reopens.

But Le Tissier revealed: "There doesn't seem to be any problem between the rest of the players and himself.

"A football changing room is a funny place. You get forgiven for a lot very quickly, as long as you are playing well.

"I could probably see him staying until the end of the season.

"It will be very difficult I imagine to hold onto him any longer than that, given what will probably happen in terms of bids coming in next summer.

"But hopefully he can have a great season for us and help us climb the table first before he leaves."
