The Netherlands Under-21 international joins former Celtic stars Fraser Forster and Victor Wanyama at St Mary's and becomes the Saints' eighth signing of a busy summer.
“I’m delighted,” Van Dijk told Southampton's official website. “It was a very easy decision to join this club.
“This is a very ambitious club, who have been doing very well in the last couple of years. It’s a great place to be and it’s the right step for me.
“For me now to get the opportunity to play in the Premier League is unbelievable and I will enjoy it.
“I know it’s an ambitious club – they have been through a lot throughout the years. They are trying to play football and that’s something that really attracted me.
“I’m so excited. I hope to settle in really quick, get everything around football sorted, start playing and enjoying it because the most important thing in football is to have fun and enjoy every day.”
