A huge gamble is developing on Chelsea signing Virgil Van Dijk according to Ladbrokes' punters.
The Southampton centre back has seen his odds of joining Chelsea plummet into just 4/1 (from 16/1) in a matter of hours, leaving favourites Liverpool to drift out to 4/9 (from 1/5).
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Conte might be doing his best to dispel the rumours, but punters are having none of it and have piled into Chelsea's odds accordingly."
