Liverpool reportedly have a genuine chance of snapping up in-demand Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk, as the Dutchman is tempted by the chance to work under Reds manager Jurgen Klopp.
According to John Cross in The Mirror, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City have all been strongly linked with the £50 million-rated Van Dijk, but Premier League champions Chelsea were believed to be favourites to sign him.
However, per Cross, Liverpool have now emerged as real challengers for his signature, and Klopp is prepared to make the 25-year-old his defensive leader—along with Arsenal, the Reds are also offering the best financial package of around £200,000 per week.
