Porto goalkeeper, 26, tipped to replace Alisson at Liverpool"I made a joke in the dressing room that finally he scores normal goals instead of deflections or own goals because now he scored two great goals against Wolves away and this one, outstanding," Van Dijk said."Really pleased for him but they are both (Robertson and Curtis Jones) outstanding football players and in the case of Robbo we’re definitely going to miss him when the season is over.
We’ll see then."Van Dijk also spoke about another Liverpool player who could move on this summer, amid suggestions that Curtis Jones is keen to explore his options this summer.Jones figures regularly for Liverpool but has never been a guaranteed starter for his boyhood club, and there are suggestions that he could move on to a club where he would be guaranteed regular starts in his preferred midfield role.Curtis Jones' future remains unclear(Image: (Photo by Marc Atkins/Getty Images))Jones produced a man-of-the-match performance in the Merseyside derby earlier this month, after being tasked with filling in at right-back.“Curtis I thought was outstanding against Everton, was not too much spoken about but especially in possession he was quite a big game-changer, especially in his positioning," Van Dijk said."It’s nice to be in your original position but he is so comfortable on the ball, he understands what is asked from that position."On whether Jones will leave this summer, Van Dijk said: “Of course, I don’t know what’s going to happen because I’m not the boss.”Jones and Robertson have both been linked with moves to Tottenham, although whether Spurs will be a viable destination for the pair will depend on whether the North London club avoids relegation.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCAndy Robertson
