Gerrard urges Liverpool to sign Van Dijk

The Anfield legend believes the Dutch defender would be an ideal addition for Jurgen Klopp, but doubts Southampton will do another deal with the Reds

Steven Gerrard feels Liverpool should move for Virgil van Dijk, having been heavily linked with the Southampton defender.

The Netherlands international has seen his reputation enhanced considerably since completing a move to St Mary’s from Celtic in the summer of 2015.

His potential had been noted by several sides prior to that move, but the Saints were the ones to take the plunge.

That faith has been rewarded, but Van Dijk’s performances have drawn admiring glances from afar.
