Former England striker Kevin Phillips has claimed that Virgil van Dijk is the best player in the current Liverpool squad and has urged the Reds to give him anything he wants in order to tie him down to a new deal at the club.
The Dutch defender, who joined the Reds from Southampton for a reported fee of £75 million in the January transfer window of 2018, is arguably one of the most important signings made by Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. He has not only transformed the Liverpool defence but has played a key role in Liverpool’s success under the German boss.
