The Netherlands international made his fourth appearance for the club against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, having completed a move to the Reds from Southampton on New Year’s Day.
The centre-back was penalised for a stoppage-time foul on Erik Lamela that led to Harry Kane converting from 12 yards to snatch a 2-2 draw in their Premier League showdown at Anfield.
But, overall, Van Dijk was an impressive performer alongside Dejan Lovren in a frantic encounter and is confident he will only improve as he becomes better accustomed to how Klopp’s team operate.
“I have been out for eight months – last January until September really – and I didn’t play at Premier League level,” said the Dutchman.
