Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk would fit in seamlessly at a big club, according to his former coach John Collins.
Sportsmail reported van Dijk is set for a £60million transfer to Liverpool after he indicated his preference to play for Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.
The fee would make him the world's most expensive defender - eclipsing the £47.5million Manchester City paid for John Stones in August.
And Collins, who overlapped with van Dijk at Celtic during the 2014-15 season, said he recognised the 25-year-old's talent early on and believes he is well equipped to make the step up.
