Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool: Southampton eye £12m Wesley Hoedt offer to replace defender
Show/hide article…
The £60m-rated Dutchman is set to discuss his future with Saints this week after telling them he wanted to move on, according to the Daily Mail.
Van Dijk spent last week training on his own at the club.
Liverpool were accused by Southampton of tapping up the 26-year-old earlier this summer.
Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of the centre-back and is looking to add depth to his squad as they prepare for a return to the Champions League.
Chelsea have also been linked with Van Dijk but the reports claim the defender wants to link up with Klopp at Anfield.

Swansea star Llorente set to miss Saints game after breaking his arm
Show/hide article…
Swansea striker Fernando Llorente will miss the start of the new Premier League season with a broken arm.
Llorente suffered the fracture in a cycling accident while he was on holiday during the summer break and is set to miss the opening two games.
Swansea start their season at Southampton on August 12 before hosting Manchester United the following weekend.
“Fernando’s rehabilitating individually - he has not joined the team training yet,” head coach Paul Clement told the official Swansea website.
"But assuming all goes well, we anticipate that happening in the next 10 days.
"I think it is unlikely he will be involved in the first couple of games, but his return will not be long after that.
"The most important thing is that we get the arm right.
“You don’t want him to re-fracture it and then end up with Fernando needing surgery, because a six-week injury can then become a six-month injury.”
Spain international Llorente was Swansea’s top scorer last season with 15 goals following his £5million move from Sevilla.
The 32-year-old World Cup winner was the subject of an approach in January from Chelsea, managed by his former Juventus boss Antonio Conte.
And Llorente has been consistently linked with the Premier League champions during the summer transfer window.

Pellegrino excited for St Mary’s debut
Show/hide article…
Saints face FC Augbsurg in the first of two home pre-season friendlies this week, and Pellegrino has stressed the importance of the upcoming five days.
“We’ve got to give our best,” he started.
“We don’t have too much time until we play 90 minutes in an important game. We will play now on our pitch against two good teams from Germany and Spain.
“It will be in front of our fans for the first time, and I would like to show the magic that we will give to them.”
Having already met a number of Saints fans during the pre-season training camps in Austria and France, Pellegrino is now excited to experience a matchday at St Mary’s.
Though he also admitted to feeling slightly nervous about his introduction to the Saints faithful.
“I am a little bit anxious, to be honest,” the manager continued.
“Because, for me, the fans are a massive part of the club. Our players and the staff that work around the team, we are giving our best to try to send a good message to them.
“These two games will be a good chance for us to complete our final preparation and ensure we are ready for the start of the season.”

Brave attacking formation could hold key to Saints success
Show/hide article…
A brave new formation featuring Saints’ leading two strikers could hold the key to a more attacking era under Mauricio Pellegrino.
The new manager started the 3-0 weekend friendly win at St Etienne with both Charlie Austin and Manolo Gabbiadini in the team.
That was almost certainly a reaction to the knowledge that he desperately needs to try and find more goals from his team than his predecessor Claude Puel did.
Saints only scored 41 times in 38 league games last term, with only the bottom five clubs netting fewer goals.
Only 17 of those came in 19 home matches - and none at all in the final five games of the season at St Mary’s.
That latter statistic no doubt played a major part in Puel losing his job.
Fans could now get a second chance to see if Pellegrino continues his experiment when Saints host Germans FC Augsburg at St Mary’s tomorrow in their penultimate pre season friendly.
If he does, then there will be just one more chance - against Sevilla at St Mary’s on Saturday - to fine-tune the formation prior to the curtain lifting on the 2017/18 Premier League season against visiting Swansea the following weekend.
Gabbiadini was preferred as the lone striker in Pellegrino’s favoured 4-2-3-1 system against St Etienne, with Austin one of the three in behind along with Soufiane Boufal and Dusan Tadic.
That could be considered a surprise, given no-one scored league goals as regularly as Austin did for Saints under Claude Puel.
Though he only netted six times - and two of them were penalties - the goals arrived at a rate of one every 156 minutes.
That compares to Gabbiadini’s rate of one every 183 minutes and the rate of one of every 415 minutes which both Nathan Redmond and Shane Long managed.
Put into some kind of context, Austin collected his goals quicker than Cherries’ top scorer Josh King, whose 16 league goals came at a rate of one every 160 minutes.
Austin has never played in a system where he didn’t feature as a central striker. Ever since leaving Poole Town in September 2009 and signing for Swindon, he has played up front.
Doing so, he has scored 125 league goals for Swindon, Burnley, QPR and Saints at a ratio of 0.51 every game.
Though only 25 of those goals have come in the Premier League, they have still been scored at a rate of one every 168 minutes.
Saints do not possess anyone with a top flight scoring record as good as that.
Gabbiadini’s greater pace, however, could well have won him Pellegrino’s vote as the central striker in his favoured system.
As well as the need for more goals in his debut campaign in English football, Pellegrino will also be desperate to see his more creative players increase their number of assists.
Though he has played behind a central striker in his Serie A career, Gabbiadini is not known for his ‘assist providing’ rate. Indeed, in his 11 league appearances for Saints following his £14m move from Napoli, he didn’t provide a single assist.
Austin provided just one in his 11 league appearances - the same amount Nathan Redmond provided in the entire 2016/17 league season.
That was still one more than club record signing Boufal managed in 1,103 minutes of at times frustrating action in his first season in the Premier League.
Pellegrino is not short of options for the three roles behind his central striker. In addition to the names just mentioned, Dusan Tadic and James Ward-Prowse were among Saints’ leading assists providers last term - with five and four respectively.
And if Shane Long is not considered a central striker option by Pellegrino - and so far it’s safe to assume he isn’t - then he will have to compete for a place in the ‘three’ as well.
Pellegrino has to try and find more goals from the same personnel as Puel had, with the addition of Sam Gallagher in place of the departed Jay Rodriguez.
Gallagher has Premier League experience - three starts and 15 sub appearances under Mauricio Pochettino in 2013/14. But he has not appeared for Saints in the top flight in the last three seasons and his best chance of breaking that run in the early stagesof Pellegrino’s era is as an impact sub.

The Portugal international returned to Staplewood for the start of his pre-season this week, following his involvement in the Confederations Cup this summer.
Having been a part of the club’s success over the past two seasons, Cédric hopes he can now help Saints achieve even bigger things this term.
"Southampton is a great team and during the last years it has proved it, so we need to keep doing it and proving it every year, that we are growing and that we want to have our name in the Premier League as well,” he said. “That’s our job and our target and that is what we are focused on.
“I think all the players have the same mentality here. We want to achieve more and these are the targets in our mind. For sure we will do a good season.”
Cédric has started work under a new manager this week, and he is encouraged by what he has been told about Mauricio Pellegrino and his staff while he has been away.
"I have heard good stuff about them, and I am sure if Southampton choose them it is because they have quality, so I am looking forward to meet them and to see how the new work is going on, and I am looking forward to having some training sessions and being in the team,” he said.
