Premier League side, Liverpool have confirmed that they have reached an agreement to sign defender Virgil van Dijk from Southampton on Wednesday night.
English tabloids had reported the £75m fee agreement earlier in the day, but the club only confirmed the report in a statement released on their official website in the night.
“Liverpool Football Club can confirm they have reached an agreement with Southampton for the transfer of Virgil van Dijk,” the statement read, with a picture of the centre-back holding a Liverpool jersey.
“The Reds have agreed a deal with the south coast club, and the player himself, that will see the 26-year-old defender move to Anfield when the transfer window re-opens on January 1, 2018.
“The Netherlands international will be assigned squad number four, upon his arrival at Liverpool.”
The fee makes Van Dijk the most expensive defender in the world, and will join Liverpool who are currently 4th on the Premier League table.
