Van Dijk wanted by both Manchester City and Chelsea

Manchester City are willing to hold off a move for Virgil van Dijk until the summer but are wary of Chelsea interest.

Southampton are keen to keep the Dutch centre-back for this season despite the 25-year-old attracting such interest and will demand around £55million.

That should prove a substantial obstacle for most, despite rumours of a £25m buyout clause, but Chelsea and City have the finance and aren't afraid to spend it.
