    Jose Fonte says that Virgil van Dijk would be a high-quality addition to the Southampton team if they can coax the defender away from Celtic.
    Manager Ronald Koeman is in the market for a new centre-back after Toby Alderweireld decided to join Tottenham and Florin Gardos sustained a serious knee injury.
    Steven Caulker arrived on a season-long loan from QPR during the summer, but the Southampton boss is keen to strengthen further.


    Signed from Groningen two years ago, Van Dijk has flourished at the Scottish champions and Saints skipper Fonte would welcome his arrival should a move materialise.
    "I know he's a good player, obviously," the Portugal international said. "He's a guy that we've been linked to, but he's not here yet.
    "But if he comes he'll be welcomed, like every other player that comes in this club.
    "If he comes, he'll add quality to the team and even more competition at the back, so it will be interesting.


    "We are fortunate to have three very good defenders, centre-backs, so whoever comes they know they have to do a job, so I just hope I'm selected."

    He's going to be a massive loss. We're not going to be able to replace him properly.

    Yeah. He's ridiculous.

    I'll hate losing him, but he needs to go for his own good!

    Running of out of words to describe the guy.

    He'll be an incredible loss when he goes.

    If he'd netted them two efforts woulda added another £5m

    Anybody think he will become a DM/CM in time?

    Ridiculously good going forward.

    Experimented with that in his first pre-season with us. He could play there, but it'd significantly weaken our back line.

    I actually wanted to see him play at CM for us but he basically plays that role anyway for us

    Why haven't we signed a replacement and get them settled into life at Celtic park and new country. If Virgil leaves before transfer shuts or jan. we should have replacement in now and getting up Ronny fitness training and getting used playing with boyata in training etc

    I was thinking more when he inevitably leaves for pastures new.

    No point in him playing DM for us considering he plays there just now anyway. :smiley-laughing002:
