Virgil van Dijk has told The Times that he remains happy at Southampton but has ambitions to play at "the highest level" amid links with some of the Premier League's biggest clubs.
The Netherlands international has been linked with Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea this season, with the Daily Telegraph reporting on Saturday that Saints have placed a £60 million price tag on their star centre-back.
Van Dijk, 25, is relaxed about the speculation but admits he is no different to any other player in wanting to better himself.
"Everyone says that at 25, the best years are still to come but I am enjoying every bit of it now," he said.
