Arsenal interested in Celtic defender

Arsenal are reportedly keen on making a move to secure the services of Celtic centre-half Virgil van Dijk during the winter transfer window.

The talented defender who joined the Scottish Champions in the summer, has been scouted by the Gunners scouts in recent weeks.

According to The Daily Mail, the Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has been impressed by the 22-year-old's exploits in the Scottish top tier this season, and will make a move for the player in the next few days.

However, Celtic are keen on keeping hold of their defender, but could be lured into the allowing the transfer, should the Gunners make an offer in the region of £10m.

Manchester City are also keen on the player's signature.
