Southampton may reportedly be forced to sell Liverpool target Virgil van Dijk in order to raise funds during the final weeks of the transfer window. Meanwhile, Everton have joined the Reds in chasing Borussia Dortmund starlet Emre Mor.
The Times' Matt Hughes revealed Saints manager Mauricio Pellegrino has been told by the club's new Chinese owners "not to expect any additional transfer funds this month" (h/t Liverpool Echo'sJoe Rimmer).
Van Dijk has been linked with a move to Liverpool for the entirety of the transfer window, and Rimmer opined that new Southampton majority shareholder Jisheng Gao's revelation could give the Reds renewed hope in their chase for the Dutchman's signature.
