Celtic star set for Premier League switch

Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk is reportedly set to leave the Scottish giants for a move to the Premier League during the summer transfer window, according to his agent.

Van Dijk, who joined the Hoops from Groningen last summer, has attracted interest from top clubs in the English top tier in Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City since the turn of the year.

His agent Henk-Maarten Chin has now revealed that the talented defender could leave Parkhead at the end of the current campaign.

“There is certainly interest. Many English clubs are interested in him – the absolute top clubs,” He said.“They watch him and are very keen. There has been no official approaches for Virgil yet, but that will come after the season ends."

“There’s certainly far more interest in him than we could have dreamed of. I expect something will happen for him this summer – the intention would be for him to earn a top transfer.”

Van Dijk has made 38 appearances for the Hoops this season.
