Everton are not making a move for Southampton defender Virgil Van Dijk, contrary to reports.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Everton are not pursuing a deal to sign Van Dijk this summer, following talks of a bid from the Merseyside club this morning.
The report claims that Southampton would demand at least £75m for the central defender, which Everton are not looking to match at this point.
Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for the defender this summer but were forced to issue an apology and retract their interest after they were accused of ‘tapping’ him up.
Van Dijk has returned to training with Southampton but is said to be keen on a move to Liverpool.
Everton have also been linked with a move for Leicester winger Demarai Gray, but the Echo have also dismissed that link.
The Echo claim that Everton are not interested in Gray and are looking at other targets.
