'Van Dijk has taken charge at Liverpool' - Agger impressed by £75m man

Virgil van Dijk “looks like he is in charge” at Liverpool, says Daniel Agger, with the £75 million centre-half already making an impact.

Having seen their defensive frailties exposed over the first half of the 2017-18 campaign, the Reds sought to find a solution to those problems as the winter transfer window approached.

Interest was rekindled in long-standing target Van Dijk, with a club-record fee eventually taking him to Anfield.

The 26-year-old has endured a mixed start to his time on Merseyside, as he works his way back to full match sharpness, but Agger has already seen enough to suggest that he will prove to be a shrewd addition.
