Chelsea legend John Terry feels that Southampton’s Virgil Van Dijk is not good enough to be in the starting eleven of Chelsea.
Van Dijk was touted to join Liverpool during the summer and he did all he could in order to force a move but Southampton refused to let him go meaning that he had to stay back with the Saints for one more year.
Now with the January transfer window fast approaching, Liverpool have reignited their hopes of signing the player. But clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have also shown an interest in the Dutch centre-back and are reportedly preparing individual bids for him.
But Chelsea legend John Terry though feels that while Van Dijk will definitely improve the quality of teams like Arsenal and Liverpool but he will not even make it to the starting eleven as far as Chelsea are concerned.
“If you look at Liverpool he certainly goes into their starting line-up and improves them,” Terry said on Sky Sports(as reported by the Express).
“Arsenal he does the same, Chelsea he makes their squad better, I’m not sure he starts.
“Man City, I think he improves their starting XI, Man United certainly. I think the money we are speaking about is where we are at in today’s market.
“But I think he goes into all of them squads and makes them better. So I’m pretty sure they’re all going to be in for him in January.”
