Top 5: Potential Manchester City summer transfer targets

Virgil van Dijk (Southampton)

Southampton’s Van Dijk is a name that has been circulating the club for the last 12 months, and rightly so in my opinion.

The talented Dutch defender is still only 25 and has shown he has real Premier League pedigree with some outstanding displays over the previous 18 months.

Despite having his 2016-17 season cut short in January through an ankle injury, Van Dijk has shown his defensive qualities, alongside a fantastic ‘ball-playing’ ability, which is sure to interest and excite Guardiola, who could yet mould the Dutch international into one of the best centre-backs in Europe.
