Manchester City Transfer News: Mauricio Pellegrino Talks Virgil van Dijk Rumours

Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino has insisted he has no knowledge of any interest from Manchester City in the club's star defender Virgil van Dijk.

Speculation has intensified as of late that City will make a move for the Dutchman as they seek to bolster their options at the back. But the Saints boss was adamant when asked that there has been no contact as of yet from the runaway Premier League leaders.

"I don't think so, this morning I was with Les [Reed, Southampton vice-chairman] talking about that but nobody knows about that," he said, per Richard Cooke of Sky Sports.
