Liverpool fans thrilled by Virgil van Dijk update amid new contract talks

Liverpool supporters have urged the club to extend Virgil van Dijk’s contract after an incredible statistic has been revealed.

According to WhoScored, the 33-year-old is the highest-rated defender in the Premier League this season, with the Reds centre-back continuing to prove his consistency at the top level.

The Netherlands international has played every single minute of Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League campaign this season as Arne Slot’s team have showcased their defensive qualities.

The Reds have only conceded once in their opening four Champions League matches, while they boast the best defensive record in the Premier League.

Liverpool have only conceded six goals in the English top-flight after their first 11 games, and those strong foundations have been crucial to the team’s success as they sit top of the league.

However, Van Dijk is out of contract at the end of the season and will be able to speak to foreign clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement in January.

Liverpool fans want the club to solve Virgil van Dijk’s contract immediately

Football Insider revealed that Van Dijk is expected to commit his future to the club by extending his stay at Anfield, but fans remain anxious until a deal is confirmed.

Supporters have claimed that the Dutch defender is the “best on the planet,” while others stated he is the one the club “most need to keep” with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contracts also up in the summer.
