With Liverpool’s squad looking more dangerous than ever, defenders across the league will be losing sleep and it’s not just because of the talent on the pitch, but the unity and leadership driving it.
As revealed by journalist Paul Gorst, captain Virgil van Dijk played a personal role in helping secure the arrival of midfield sensation Florian Wirtz:
“When Florian spoke to the club and certain players, I spoke to him a little bit as well. I’m sure he got a feel for it. I told him: ‘Liverpool is the place to be.’”
