The Journal: "Newcastle are in the market for a centre-half – and Van Dijk, who cost Celtic just £2.6m from Groningen 12 months ago, is on their radar and has been a revelation for the Scottish champions.

"His performances in the Champions League last season are what attracted the attention of several Premier League managers in recent months.

"But as Celtic need to overturn a 4-1 deficit against Legia Warsaw this evening just to get to the final qualifying round of the Champions League, Van Dijk will be desperate to move without the challenge of European football’s top tournament.

"And, more importantly, Celtic would be willing to sell if, as looks likely, they fail to make the Champions League."
