Manchester United bookies favourites to sign Southampton star ahead of Manchester City.
Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk is a player in demand, 18 months after joining the club from Celtic.
The big clubs in the Premier League have all been linked, with The Star reporting Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are all keen.
Bookies SkyBet have now opened a market on Van Dijk’s next destination, and Manchester United are considered favourites.
Southampton’s Virgil van Dijk heads clear
United are listed at 4/1 to sign the Dutchman, with Manchester City following at 6/1.
Chelsea follow at 8/1, Arsenal 12/1, Liverpool outsiders at 14/1, and Everton behind them at 20/1.
Southampton’s Virgil Van Dijk arrives for training
He is priced at 1/2 to stay at Southampton by the end of the transfer window, and signing Van Dijk mid-season will prove costly.
The Mirror reported last week that Van Dijk had a release clause in his contract of £25 million.
