Fonte stated, 'I would love to see Sven Botman replace Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool and I think he has the ability to do it.' He reflects on their shared experience at Lille and highlights Botman’s physicality, aggression, and competitiveness, which mirror Van Dijk's attributes.
Fonte noted Botman's characteristics, describing him as a 'monster' in defensive duels, emphasizing his strength and skills as a left centre-back. He mentioned, 'He is tall, very good in duels, he plays as the left centre-back, he loves a tackle, he is aggressive and still young,' showing his belief in Botman's potential to thrive at Liverpool if he maintains his health after injury.
