Virgil Van Dijk’s incredible tenure at Liverpool

Liverpool paid upwards of £75 million for the center-back in 2018 from Southampton. With many online debating, whether the price tag was too high for a defender who had never proved himself at a top club, those arguments came to an end swiftly.

The defender has been a revelation at the club with many, in his short tenure, already regarding him as one of the best defenders in Premier League history. His performances saw him lift the Champions League and the Premier League with Liverpool picking up several individual accolades along the way. For many other great players in the past, if it were not for Lionel Messi, the Dutchman would have won the Ballon d’Or in 2019 missing out by only 7 points.

The player will go down in Premier League history for his dominant display in defense. Good on the ball, smart off of it Virgil Van Dijk personified what a modern defender should be and took it to new heights.
