Virgil van Dijk 'enjoying every day' after return for Southampton - Yoshida
Maya Yoshida says Virgil van Dijk remains a positive influence at Southampton after a summer move never materialised.Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk is "enjoying" his return to action for the south coast side following the collapse of a summer move to Liverpool, teammate Maya Yoshida has said.
Van Dijk was heavily linked with a transfer to Anfield, and after it failed to materialise he submitted a transfer request that was turned down.
But Yoshida told reporters that the Netherlands international was happy again after beginning the season out of the first-team picture with a foot injury.
