Chelsea target Virgil van Dijk has officially submitted a transfer request to Southampton today, as shown in a statement made by the player.
The statement made by the Dutchman confirms that he is keen to depart the club with immediate effect, as he seeks a move to a top team this summer.
Chelsea have long been linked with a move for the former Celtic man, with Antonio Conte keen to bolster his defensive reinforcements further.
Van Dijk has established himself as one of the Premier League’s best central defenders since his move to England in 2015, and this has subsequently attracted interest from the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea.
