The Netherlands international was heavily linked with a move away during the close season
and even submitted a transfer request to try and force through a move to Anfield.
Yet the future of the 26-year-old remains far from certain and reports suggest that
he could well leave the South Coast club in January,
and were he to indeed make the move to Liverpool, here are TWO other stars who could follow
him to Anfield in the New Year.
Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij has been in impressive form in the heart of the Serie
A side's backline in recent years, and as such could be the ideal centre-back partner
for compatriot van Dijk at Anfield.
The 25-year-old has made 85 appearances for the Italian giants and played a key part in
their ascent to fifth place in the top-flight last season, and did look set to pen a new
deal at the club earlier this week.
However, reports suggest that contract negotiations have stalled, which is surely going to be
of interest to Reds chief Klopp, who has seen his current defence concede 17 goals in just
12 Premier League games this term.
Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka has seriously impressed in the heart of their midfield in
recent times, but his future appears to be away from the Bundesliga outfit.
The 22-year-old made the move to the German club back in 2013 and has since played 128
times, netting 19 goals and laying on 13 assists in the process.
And with four goals in just nine league matches this term, Goretzka continues to go from strength
to strength, although his current contract at Schalke is due to expire at the end of
the campaign, and so far no extension has been agreed.
