Liverpool make Van Dijk decision
08.50: Liverpool have decided not to make a move for Virgil van Dijk unless Southampton reduce their value.
The Reds tried to sign Van Dijk in the summer but were forced to pull back after being accused of tapping up.
Manchester City are also keen on the Dutch defender despite their lead at the top of the Premier League.
But the Irish Independent claim Liverpool will only make a move if the price tag is on offer.
