Southampton seem to be doing their bit to show that everything is normal with the club and its players. The team packed up for a flight to Austria for a pre-season training camp and there was one player that caught the eye of almost everyone.

Virgil van Dijk was part of the team that traveled to Austria and it was a little surprising to see him in the squad. We all know that the Saints don’t want to sell their star defender but the Dutch defender claimed that he only wants to join Liverpool in the summer, thus putting a spanner in the works.
While we will have to pay a crazy amount to sign Van Dijk up, there were many who took Twitter and shared their opinion about this latest move from the Saints.
