# Bookmakers slash odds on Virgil van Dijk joining Liverpool

Bookmakers across the UK have dramatically slashed the odds on Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk joining Liverpool after a flurry of bets.

Less than 24 hours ago, most bookmakers had Manchester City as the odds-on favourites to sign the Dutchman with the odds of him moving to Liverpool set at around 2/1.

However, at the time of writing, some bookmakers have stopped taking bets on Van Dijk joining the Reds, with Betway offering the best odds at 1/4.

Rumours started circulating around 1pm on Monday that the 25-year-old had agreed a move to Anfield, less than 48 hours after some national journalists were convinced that he was moving to Manchester City.

Whilst these changes in odds don’t necessarily mean that a transfer is completed, it does show that there are certainly a lot of punters out there who think it is.
