Arne Slot, Liverpool's coach, expressed his desire to work with Virgil van Dijk for an extended period as the defender's contract situation remains uncertain. Van Dijk, along with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, is out of contract at the end of the season but is expected to stay for a ninth year. Notably, he scored in Liverpool's recent triumph over Tottenham, reaffirming his critical role in the team's defense and attack. Slot praised van Dijk's leadership and performance, emphasizing his hopes for van Dijk's continued impact.
Virgil deserves every compliment he gets. He’s been outstanding for this club for so many years and, since I’ve been here, he's been outstanding for me.
It was no coincidence it took 80 minutes for Tottenham's first shot [of note]. Virgil, just like many others, wants to make it a great season.
