These 3 star January signings are top of Liverpool’s Christmas list

Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk has been one of the best defenders in the Premier League over the past 12 months.

The Southampton centre-back moved to St Mary’s in the summer of 2015 from Celtic and, although it took him a bit of time to adapt to the English game, he is now relishing the challenge of Premier League football every week.

Van Dijk has been an integral part of the solid Saints defence this season, and his all round ability in the centre-back role has attracted several suitors, one of which being Liverpool.

The way he marshalled Romelu Lukaku last weekend is only going to step up the interest in the 25-year-old, so Klopp will need to act fast to get his man.
