Kompany names van Dijk as best centre-back in Premier League history

The former Manchester City defender selected the Liverpool star as the league's best ahead of the likes of John Terry and Rio Ferdinand

Former Manchester City star Vincent Kompany has named Virgil van Dijk as the best centre-back he's seen in the Premier League ahead of the likes of John Terry and Rio Ferdinany.

Van Dijk joined Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018, becoming the world's most expensive defender at the time in the process.

He's since helped establish the Reds backling as one of the best in the world, helping guide the team to a Champions League final win over Tottenham in June.
