Former Celtic star Virgil van Dijk is now a Premier League hot property at Southampton, with the likes of Liverpool and the Manchester clubs interested in his services.
The Dutch centre-back left Parkhead in the summer of 2015 for £13million, just 2 years after arriving from Groningen for £2.6 million.
Despite selling van Dijk for 5 times the amount he was bought for, BT Sport pundit Chris Sutton believes Celtic sold the 26-year-old on the cheap.
Considering how his value has skyrocketed over the last 2 summers, with the Saints now rating their skipper around £80million, the former Chelsea striker doesn’t want the Hoops to repeat the mistake with Moussa Dembele.
How much is Van Dijk worth now?? Celtic sold him on the cheap… Now he’s the most wanted centre back in the EPL…That’s how? https://t.co/mLOLZR1LiV

Sutton wants Scottish teams to stop undervaluing their players, urging Celtic to quote at least £30million for the French striker.
Dembele, alongside left-back Kieran Tierney, is wanted by Premier League big sides and the duo will most likely leave next summer.
Given their consistent forms and brilliant performances over the last 2 seasons, Celtic mustn’t sell themselves short when conducting transfer business for the duo.
