Swansea City are reportedly eyeing Celtic's Virgil van Dijk.

The Express is of the belief that Swans boss Garry Monk is a big fan of the Dutch centre-half and is preparing a summer offer to lodge with the Hoops.

Van Dijk, who is valued at around £8million, is keen to leave Parkhead in order to test himself at a higher level and would welcome a transfer to the Premier League where has a number of suitors Tottenham, Southampton, Norwich City and Sunderland.

The 23-year old joined Scottish champions Celtic from FC Groningen in 2013 and has since emerged as one of the brightest young defenders in Europe.
