Celtic
centre-back Virgil van Dijk has ruled out a move away from Celtic in January
transfer window, according to manager Ronny Delia.
The
Celtic manager Ronny Delia has confirmed that Virgil van Dijk has clearly
denied to leave them next month despite of the interest from big sides including
Manchester United and Arsenal.
The
news would definitely give the Premier League sides a blow as they were eyeing
him strongly, now they have to look for the other players in the market.
Ronny
Delia told the Express in an interview that his player is very happy and he has
a desire to play here for a long time. He is a good talent.
The
£10million rated centre-back has been on top European sides radar but despite of
signing for them he has decided to stay in Scotland. However, reports still
believes that if the right offer comes then the club could change their mind.
The
23-year-old has been a vital asset for Celtic since his move from Groningen in
2013. He has scored six goals in 31 appearances for the Scottish
side so far this term.
While Victor
Wanyama and Fraser Forster who both joined the Premier League side Southampton from Celtic in recent
times have been impressive.
