Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino says Virgil van Dijk will be 100 percent focused in this weekend's trip to Liverpool.
Liverpool had to apologise in June for "any misunderstanding" surrounding their interest in the defender, saying they had dropped their interest after Southampton asked the Premier League to investigate an alleged improper approach.
And, having seen several players enticed away in recent years, Southampton dug in their heels and kept hold of Van Dijk despite the player's public transfer request towards the end of a messy summer.
But Saints manager Pellegrino has no doubts about the 26-year-old's mentality.
