The Liverpool captain has cut a calm and measured figure all season. That didn't change even in the post-match excitement that followed Sunday's Premier League win at the Etihad.

Liverpool have plotted their strategy to find the replacement for Virgil van Dijk, according to football transfer news reporter Fabrizio Romano.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has urged supporters to make Anfield "horrible" for opponents in the coming months as his team seek to get their Premier League title challenge over the line.

Arne Slot believes Virgil van Dijk would make a good manager despite the Liverpool captain stating his reluctance to step into the dugout at the end of his playing days

Virgil van Dijk has been in a title-winning position before with Liverpool and knows what needs to be done to get over the line.

The forward has been a star performer for Liverpool this season, scoring 16 goals after being unleashed in his favoured left-wing position by new head coach Arne Slot. The Netherlands international has gone from strength to strength under his compatriot since scoring a brace away at Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup at the end of October.
