Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk has said that a move away from Scottish club Celtic would benefit his career. Spurs could capitalise and make a move for the centre-back.
However, Celtic are not willing to sell up this month, but could be open to bids at the end of the season in the summer transfer window. Celtic are asking for around £10m for their star defender.
The likes of Arsenal and West Ham are also interested in van Dijk, with Arsenal looking to solve the problem that they currently have at the back. West Ham on the other hand are waiting on a decision from Winston Reid about his future at the club before they make any bid.
However, signing van Dijk would see Tottenham possibly break up the partnership of Federico Fazio and Jan Vertonghen at the back, and the record that Spurs have when the two of them start together is phenomenal.
Here is what the centre-back has said about his future.
“You never know in football, but for now Celtic will not co-operate with a departure in this transfer period,”
“It would be a boost for my career if I could make a step up, but I have no problem if I remain a little longer in Scotland. Perhaps in the summer something happens.”
