Neil Warnock has told Manchester City to offer £200million to Liverpool for Virgil van Dijk.

For some reason, Warnock believes Liverpool would agree to the sale and that Van Dijk would be capable of inspiring a 35-point swing between the two clubs next season.

Liverpool currently lead City by 25 points - although the Blues do have two games in hand - but Warnock believes City would be 10 points clear of Liverpool if they had Van Dijk in their side.

"[Dejan] Lovren, he wouldn’t get in my team," Warnock said of Liverpool's defence.

"I look at what they’ve done, if they’ve got [Joe] Gomez alongside Van Dijk, they’ll be okay, they’ll start winning again because Gomez makes such a difference with his pace.

"It’s like Man City, I still think Man City are the best. If they got a Van Dijk, I wouldn’t sign anyone else. I’d spend £200million on Van Dijk.

"If they had a Van Dijk in their team, they’d be 10 points in front. I don’t think there’s that much wrong with Man City other than a centre-half like that."
