Virgil van Dijk open to leaving Celtic this summer

Virgil van Dijk admits that he would be keen on leaving Celtic in the summer should an offer come in.

Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk has admitted that he is keen on leaving the Scottish champions in the summer.

The Dutchman was repeatedly linked with a move away from Celtic in January after reports suggested that Arsenal, Southampton and Sunderland were all interested.

Despite resisting the temptation to cash in on the 23-year-old in the winter, Celtic are likely to face a battle to keep him when the transfer window reopens.

"Celtic are a great club with a fantastic stadium and the fans are great," Van Dijk told reporters. "But the competition is not too good.

"I want to develop. If the opportunity is there, I would definitely consider a transfer."

Celtic reportedly value Van Dijk at close to £10m.
