Mauricio Pellegrino is confident Southampton will win their battle to keep Virgil Van Dijk in the final week of the window.
Southampton's manager has taken a firm stance since the Holland international handed in a transfer request, stating that he would not be allowed to leave.
Speaking after the 0-0 draw with Huddersfield, Pellegrino said: 'I think Virgil will be here on September 1.'
Van Dijk has been training alone and still has his heart set on changing clubs, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea eager to sign the central defender.
