Why this Southampton star must snub both Man United and Liverpool and stay put

Southampton are a side on the up

Southampton are a side on the up having secured European football for the first time in over a decade last season. The Saints always seem to improve on their league finish from the previous campaign and they will be looking to do the same this term.

Van Dijk should stick with Southampton and develop into a real leader for the them, pushing them forward toward greater things.

The Dutchman has already helped the Saints to finish in their highest ever Premier League position and could go down as a club legend if he keeps performing to such a high level.
