Holland defender Virgil van Dijk admits he could look at a move away from Southampton when the transfer window opens again in January.
Van Dijk has now been reintegrated into the first-team picture at St Mary’s having been training with the development squad after handing in a transfer request at the start of August.
Despite the apparent reconciliation, the 26-year-old revealed during his preparation for the Oranje’s crunch World Cup qualifiers against Belarus and Group A rivals Sweden that he may yet review the situation at the turn of the year.
Van Dijk said: “I am glad I am fit again and I can give 100 per cent.
“I am not sorry for anything [which happened].
“Of course, I wanted to make a step up, but Southampton did not want to sell me, but you’re a professional, so now I will give everything to the club.”
