Chelsea are closing in on Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk, according to
Sky Italia, in a deal worth around £60 million to the South Coast club.
The 25-year-old previously looked set to join Liverpool before the Reds were forced to pull out of the deal, leaving the door open for Antonio Conte to make his move.
Manchester City are also thought to be in the chase, though a big-money deal taking the Netherlands international to Stamford Bridge is making progress.
