The Dutch defender quit Celtic Park in favour of an £11.5m move into the
English Premier League over the summer
– and has since admitted the standard of football is way above what he had
recently been used to.
“At Southampton I am learning so much
in every game I play, much more than I did in two years at Celtic,” Van Dijk commented in the Daily Express. “I feel I have started quite well. I’ve played five games and it has been tough. The standard is much quicker than in Scotland.
“The ball is like a pinball machine,” he added. “You have to concentrate. It took me some time to get used to it but I’m doing all right now.”
