Southampton will not sell Virgil van Dijk in the winter transfer window despite reported interest from Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.
Van Dijk, 25, joined Saints from Celtic for £13 million in the summer of 2015 and had been linked with a £50m move away, with Everton also reported to be tracking him.
Club captain Jose Fonte is set to move on this month after handing in a transfer request, but Netherlands international Van Dijk will not be allowed to follow him through the exit door.
"Virgil is not for the sale," Saints executive director Les Reed told the Southampton Daily Echo.
