Virgil Van Dijk Officially Confirmed As Saints Player
Tuesday, 1st Sep 2015 14:46

The Saints official club website has confirmed that Virgil Van Dijk has joined the club today.

Van Dijk has signed on a five year contract as officially confirmed on the Saints website, which is the news all Saints fans have been waiting to hear.

Pictures of him holding a Saints shirt are up and he is quoted as saying.

" For me now to get the opportunity to play in the Premier League is unbelievable, it is the perfect step for me it is an amazing club"

Executive Director of Football Les Reed said of the deal:

“We’re delighted to have finally got Virgil into the club after long and lengthy negotiations.

“We’ve had Virgil in our system for a long time and have explored the possibility of signing him in previous transfer windows, and this year we had a really strong opportunity to do it.

“The Champions League had an effect on the moment of release, which we were aware of, so it was about keeping our focus and doing our due diligence before eventually getting him over the line.

“He’s still a young man but a very mature young man who has played a very good level of football at Celtic and in Europe. He’s had an excellent upbringing and still has a lot of time ahead of him.

“Virgil has signed a long-term contract, so clearly sees a strong future here with us. He’s young, hungry and wants to prove himself.”
