Arsenal and Manchester City have both sent scouts to watch the Dutch centre-half, who was bought by Celtic last summer for £1.6 million.
It is thought that Van Dijk, whose performances for Celtic have earned rave reviews since his switch from Groningen, may attract bids of up to £10 million.
Van Dijk is currently contracted to Celtic for the next three seasons, with an option for another year.
The defender’s form has been such that Lennon has said a call-up for Louis van Gaal’s squad is only a matter of time.
“It’s inevitable, if he keeps going and progressing the way he is, that he’ll become a Dutch international. He makes it look easy. People seem to think he has a laid-back attitude, but his work ethic is very high and he’s a kid who wants to get better. I’d like to think Virgil would get a chance with his country.”
Van Dijk has made 29 appearances for Celtic so far this season, scoring three goals.
