Van Dijk aiming for 'highest level'
Virgil Van Dijk has insisted he is happy to remain at Southampton but admits he wants to play at the 'highest level'.
The Southampton defender has earned rave reviews for his performances since joining the Saints from Celtic in the summer of 2015 and has been hotly tipped for a big money move.
Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United have all been linked with a £50m bid for the Dutch international with the chance he could possibly move in January.
However, although the 25-year-old wants to eventually move to one of the continent's biggest clubs, he is happy to remain on the south coast for the time being.
"Everyone says that at 25, the best years are still to come but I am enjoying every bit of it now," he said in an interview with The Times.
"Southampton is a very good club for me, it is an amazing place to be and I am happy to be part of the success.
"Every player in the world has ambitions; I have ambitions like everyone else. I want to get the maximum out of myself as a player. I can improve in every aspect and that takes time. That takes games. That takes playing at the highest level and with the national team.
"The figures you mention about me? I cannot do anything about that. That is football these days. But I don't feel the pressure - no chance."
