Saints were linked with Celtic central defender Virgil Van Dijk back in the summer but they are rumoured to be looking to sign the player in the next transfer window
Saints were unable to sign Van Dink back in the summer of 2014 and instead turned their attentions to Toby Alderweireld and the rest is history, however it is looking increasingly like Athletico Madrid will pay Saints the money to cancel the permanent arrangement and put the player out to auction with Saints set to lose out, that being the case it seems Saints are already looking to sign his replacement.
Everton and Sunderland in January made enquiries to Celtic but they were quoted a similar price to Saints last summer of £10 million and it will need that sort of fee to entice the Glasgow club to sell.
