Arsene Wenger sent the club’s scouts to watch van Dijk in action for the Scottish side against Dinamo Zagreb, and received a report that was full of praise for the Dutch international.
Injuries have hampered the Gunners squad so far this season, especially at the back, and Van Dijk – who was linked with moves to Southampton and Sunderland over the summer – is being viewed as the ideal man to add some much needed cover to their defensive unit.
The 23-year-old has already insisted that he is committed to the Bhoys, but a tempting offer from a top Premier League outfit may prove too good to turn down.
