Jose Fonte's Comment On Van Dijk's Instagram Post has Caused A Stir

West Ham defender Jose Fonte apologised for his comment on Instagram following on from Virgil van Dijk's move to Liverpool being announced.

The former Saints skipper congratulated his former teammate on making the world-record switch after he posted a lengthy message on his official Instagram.

But in the same post, he also tagged Ryan Bertrand, currently at Southampton but heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, and wrote "Another one" - angering Saints fans.

A fair amount of people presumed that the "cryptic" comment was a hint about Bertrand being the next player to head out the exit door at St Mary's, but he then took to Instagram story to apologise and clear things up.
