Chelsea Prepare Insane Move For Dutch Defender Wanted By Every Other Club In Premier League

With yet another comfortable victory in the last round of the Premier League in 2016, Antonio Conte’s Chelsea, extended their unbeaten run to 13 games as they stay safe at the top of the table, 6 points off Liverpool in the second place.

The new Italian manager at the bridge has transformed the who squad having added a few players in the summer and if the recent performances are anything to go by, the Blues will surely end up close to the title in their hands.

Conte has settled into a starting XI that is winning his games but there is an impending feeling that they are a bit short in more than a couple of areas. So it does not come as a surprise that he is looking to spend big bucks in the next two transfer windows.

And reports today suggest that the manager is ready to break a club record to land a defender January.

An exclusive from the Express has revealed that the Chelsea manager is now plotting to make a mind-blowing £60m bid for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk to bring him to the Bridge this January.

The Dutch defender is one of the most consistent players in his position in the Premier League and has been exceptional for the Saints since his move to the club a couple of years ago.

He is one of the most important parts of the squad for Claude Puel who revealed that he is not for sale. But with the transfer window open, clubs in the PL are yet again plotting a move for him with Chelsea seemingly most interested.

It is understood that Chelsea want to test Southampton’s resolve with the multi-million bid in January and if they are able to land their man, the Blues can not only improve their squad but also get one over their rivals.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and Ronald Koeman’s Everton have all been monitoring his situation closely and will be ready to bid if needed but at £60m, Chelsea might be able to lure him away from all the clubs, making it a win-win.

The likes of Cesar Azpilicueta and Kurt Zouma are the only two players who might stay at the club for the long term with David Luiz, Gary Cahill, John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic, all into their final few years of their careers.

Conte will know that Van Dijk will make them close to unbeatable but at £60m, it is a deal that can break the club record.

Do you think Chelsea can land Van Dijk in January?
