Liverpool legend Jan Molby claims Virgil van Dijk is ‘as important to the team’ as Mohamed Salah and is a future Liverpool captain.
The former Southampton defender arrived at Anfield in an eye-watering £75 million deal back in January and enjoyed a dream debut, scoring the winner in the Merseyside derby.
And Molby, who played for the Reds over a 12-year period between 1984 until 1996, believes the Netherlands international could emulate the iconic Alan Hansen.
“Alan did his own job but was always there to help others,” Molby told The Sunday Post.
