Liverpool defender, Virgil van Dijk is a leader at Liverpool, according to Jamie Redknapp and he has been responsible for the complete transformation of the team as they now challenge for EPL and UCL titles.
The Netherlands international assisted Liverpool to a European final in the 2017-18 campaign after joining the club in January and is still the main man involved in their pushing for the UCL and EPL titles.
Jamie recently heaped praise on the ex Southampton star and he had only nice words to say.
His words, “There was one moment during Liverpool’s victory over Newcastle that captured the impact Virgil van Dijk has had on Jurgen Klopp’s team.
“With Xherdan Shaqiri and Trent Alexander-Arnold standing over a free-kick, Van Dijk urged the Swiss midfielder to take it.
“The result? Shaqiri crossed for Divock Origi to head in the winner that keeps Liverpool’s title bid alive.
“Some argued that it would take more than one player to sort out Liverpool’s defence. Not only has Van Dijk done that but he has completely transformed this team.
“He is a leader, an organiser and a calming presence rolled into one.
“I cannot think of another player who has had a greater impact on a Premier League team.”
