Virgil van Dijk insists there is 'no better place' than Liverpool after fans loudly booed team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold for controversial Anfield exit

Liverpool is the place to be despite Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit, insists captain Virgil van Dijk.

Vice-captain Alexander-Arnold last week announced his decision to leave the Anfield club after 20 years and was booed by supporters when introduced as a substitute midway through Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal yesterday.

But despite the right back orchestrating a move to Real Madrid – he is finalising terms on a long-term deal with the Spanish giants – Van Dijk reckons that there is no better club in the world and that the Reds will only get better next season.
