The Daily Star Claim Van Dijk Has Completed Medical And Is Done Deal

The Daily Star has put up a story claiming that Virgil Van Dijk to St Mary's is a done deal after the player completed a medical on Monday in Southampton,

This is a story that Saints fans will want to see confirmed by the club, the Daily Star goes on to say that Saints and Celtic have agreed a £10 million fee which could rise to £11.5 million with add ons, slightly less than the £13 million that the Glasgow club were hanging on for.

Van Dijk will join on a four year contract and will be unveiled on Tuesday morning.

Ronad Koeman has been chasing the Dutch central defender for over a year, initially trying to land him last summer before turning his attention to Toby Alderweireld and returning again to Van Dijk this summer, however Celtic were not willing to let him go till their Champions League fate was known.
