Van den Berg: Liverpool's valuation is high
Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg has questioned the club’s valuation of him.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move away this summer, with it said that Liverpool want at least £20m for him.
“The first reaction from me was that it was quite high,” Van den Berg said.
“Of course it is a compliment in one way. It’s a sign of how well I did last year. But it makes it more difficult the other way. £20m is maybe on the high side.”

Done deal!
Tottenham have confirmed the signing of South Korean winger Yang Min-hyuk.
The 18-year-old has signed a deal through to 2030, but will remain at K League side Gangwon for the rest of their season and join up with Spurs in January.
It continues the youthful focus to Tottenham’s transfer business, after the arrivals of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.
Yang scored his first goal for Gangwon in March, becoming the youngest player to get on the scoresheet in the K League in more than ten years, and he has since scored seven more, including three in his last two appearances.
Gil closes in on Girona loan
Bryan Gil is on the verge of sealing a loan move to Girona.
The Tottenham winger is set to join the Spanish side on a straight loan, with no option to make the deal a permanent one.
Sky Sports suggest Gil, who is not involved in Spurs’ tour of Japan and South Korea, will likely wrap up the move in the next few days.
