Van Dijk has handed in a transfer request at St Mary’s – and the south-coast club are already lining up a replacement.

The Saints are hoping to sign Middlesbrough defender BEN GIBSON in a £30million deal, according to the Sun.

Stoke hope to sign last season’s loanee BRUNO MARTINS INDI, reports the Stoke Sentinel, while L’equipe claims Potters midfielder GIANNELLI IMBULA is closing in on a move to Monaco.
