The verdict of the experts on Van Dijk …
"I think that he should be the PFA player of the year" Jamie Carragher says on Sky sports after the recent performance of Van Dijk as a match man in the Merseyside derby.
"He looks like a man playing in a children's game, playing against some of the best European football players in the Premier League, but everything is so easy."
"You could write a book about his skills, his strengths, how much I love him, what a fantastic person he is, he is so young, already so mature, so strong, so good."
Jurgen Klopp on Van Dijk …
Graeme Souness "In a lot of games this year, he made such a difference for them.
"You can say that a player makes no difference, but I think if you're as good, you're an exception.He would be the outstanding center-center at the moment.It's a very special player."
