Since his mega-money move from Southampton in January 2018, Virgil van Dijk has established himself as a Liverpool legend and one of the most formidable defenders in the game.

Following months of speculation about his future, the Reds' skipper has now signed a new deal with Liverpool.

Following Mohamed Salah, who put pen to paper a new contract earlier this month, Van Dijk has alleviated fans' concerns by agreeing to extend his stay on Merseyside for another two years.

As Liverpool edge closer to their second Premier League title in six years, it's likely that the coveted trophy will be Van Dijk's ninth major honour since joining Anfield.
