Liverpool fans have got their hopes up over signing Virgil van Dijk after the defender was absent from Southampton’s latest promotional video.
Southampton’s squad have returned to their Staplewood training ground following their pre-season camp in France and have filmed their walk-ons for television ahead of the new campaign.
But Van Dijk was one notable absentee from the behind-the-scenes video released by Southampton on Tuesday.
Liverpool had attempted to sign the Dutch centre-back earlier this summer but were forced to withdraw their interest and apologise to Southampton after the extent of Jurgen Klopp’s pursuit of the player was made public.
But Liverpool fans now believe Van Dijk is one step closer to Anfield after he wasn’t seen in Southampton’s photoshoot ahead of the new campaign.
