Ronald Koeman has pleaded with Everton co-owner Farhad Moshiri to launch a £50m bid for Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk this month, according to reports.
The 25-year-old Dutchman has allegedly emerged as a target for many of the big clubs in the English top flight after starring for the Saints this season.
According to The Mirror, Koeman has told Moshiri that Van Dijk – whom Koeman signed for Southampton from Celtic when he was in charge on the south coast – is his number one target and wants a deal done in the current transfer window.
The centre-back has made 26 appearances for the Goodison Park outfit this season.
