Liverpool's £75m signing Virgil van Dijk proves he is a class act with amazing gesture to young supporter

Virgil van Dijk is fast becoming one of the most popular men in the red half of Merseyside.

The £75m signing immediately endeared himself to Liverpool fans with a match-winning display on his debut against bitter rivals Everton.

Now he's earning more plaudits for a brilliant gesture to a young Reds supporter.

The Dutchman asked the club to track down a 10-year-old fan who was pictured excitedly welcoming him to Anfield prior to the game against Leicester last month.

Van Dijk had failed to spot the boy as he made his way back to the tunnel and was determined to make up for it.
