'I would go for Van Dijk... he's more complete': Liverpool defender is BETTER than Nemanja Vidic, according to World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf

Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk is a better defender than Nemanja Vidic — according to World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf.

The central defender has been a key man for the Anfield club over the last few seasons, having helped them win the Champions League in his first full campaign on Merseyside.

Van Dijk has also been crucial to a Liverpool side that seem to be in an unassailable lead in the Premier League, along with winning UEFA Men's Player of the Year in 2019.
