Van Dijk: I want to be a Liverpool legend and achieve incredible things at Anfield

Virgil van Dijk is determined to become a “Liverpool legend”, with the Dutch defender looking to build on his standing as a talismanic presence in Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

Since being snapped up from Southampton in January 2018, the Netherlands international has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence on Merseyside.

A £75 million ($92m) transfer package was required to secure his services, but an immediate return has been offered on that investment.
