KLOPP BID FOR VAN DIJK

- BY JOHN CROSS

JURGEN KLOPP hopes his magic touch can help Liverpool pull off a major surprise and land £50million-rated Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are all battling for Southampto­n’s Dutch centre-back.

But it is understood that Liverpool have a genuine chance of doing a deal because Van Dijk is attracted by the propositio­n of playing for Klopp.

Klopp is ready to make it clear Van Dijk would be his defensive kingpin and that he could become a Kop legend.

It will be a hard sell from Liverpool, who will offer around £200,000 a week and the bonus of Champions League football.

But Saints are still insisting that Van Dijk is not for sale.
