The former Anfield icon believes a fresh approach for the Southampton centre-half would make sense as transfer talk builds again heading into January

Virgil van Dijk would “suit Liverpool very well” if a fresh approach is made for the Southampton centre-half, says Dirk Kuyt.

The Dutch defender spent much of the summer being heavily linked with a move to Anfield, with the Saints accusing their Premier League rivals of making an illegal approach at one stage.

Eventually the deadline passed with no deal being done, forcing Van Dijk to stay put and put any potential distractions to the back of his mind.
