Liverpool aren't the only ones hoping Southampton finally cave and agree to sell Virgil Van Dijk.

Celtic may also be watching the Dutchman's situation with plenty of intrigue.

Van Dijk spent two seasons at Parkhead, scoring nine goals in 76 appearances after moving from Groningen in 2013.

The 26-year-old then moved south to St Mary's for £10m - but with Celtic negotiating a 10 percent sell-on clause in Van Dijk's contract.

Jurgen Klopp has since made Van Dijk his top defensive target this summer, but Liverpool ran into a fair few problems in their efforts to sign him.

Southampton reported the Reds to the Premier League for allegedly 'tapping up' Van Dijk, forcing Liverpool into publicly withdrawing their interest in the player.

Reports in Scotland suggest that Van Dijk only wants to move to Anfield this summer - and Celtic are hoping that he gets his wish so that they can get a large chunk of a potential £75m fee.
