Liverpool center-back Virgil van Dijk has won some plaudits from a Premier League rival. Surprisingly, a cult figure from Anfield's past came in for praise too.

Virgil van Dijk looks to have confirmed a major injury boost for Arne Slot and Liverpool with his latest Instagram update.

With Alan Shearer naming Van Dijk as Liverpool’s most important player, a fair argument can be made that the defender is more crucial to the Reds’ game plan than the likes of Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, the two other players currently set to leave at the end of this season.

Liverpool will give some star players including Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk a rest for the Champions League game at PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has said he believes his team can use the disappointment of last season to help propel them to silverware this term.

Writing for the Players’ Tribune, Gakpo shares what Virgil van Dijk told Liverpool players after their 7-0 win against United, with the forward poetically saying: “My son, Samuel, is not even one-year-old, but when he is old enough to understand, I will tell him about this crazy Liverpool journey.

Liverpool star Virgil Van Dijk wasted no time when naming who he believes is the greatest soccer player of all time.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has admitted he has been taken aback by Virgil van Dijk’s exceptional ability, describing the club captain as being on "another level".

"Very proud. My family and my kids were here today so it was a special day,” Van Dijk admitted to reporters, including the ECHO, after his landmark appearance. “I might get a glass of red wine tonight just to celebrate, me and my wife. But that's it. The focus is then on the next game.

Arne Slot's Liverpool remain in pole position in the Premier League and Champions League but may well feel the need to add to their squad before the transfer window shuts
