Everton get potential signing boost
Everton and Southampton may have received a potential transfer boost in their targeting of Celtic defender Virgil Van Dijk according to the Express.
The newspaper claims that Celtic are lining up Belgian defender Brandon Mechele as a replacement as clubs look to prize the young Dutchman away from Celtic Park.
Van Dijk is a fans favourite up in Scotland and has impressed in the league and Europe as he builds on a growing reputation.
Southampton are in the market for a new centre-back to replace Toby Alderweireld who joined Spurs and Everton are looking to replace Antolin Alcaraz and Sylvain Distin who both left the club on a free transfer.

Would be a great signing but fear he will go to Southampton as their manager is Dutch and thay are in Europa cup.
I agree Paul, but we should at least put a realistic bid in, then see what happens! We just stand back & dont do anything! There are 3 good alternatives N’koulou, Dragovic & the Argentina cb Morri! Same with no.10 position Dennis Praet or Honda, both would be very good! We just piss about & Martinez deserves all the flack if we dont get decent players in!
