Virgil Van Dijk is excited by Liverpool's blend of youth and experience and hopes it can propel them to success this season.
The Dutchman was named as the Reds' new captain this summer following the departure of Jordan Henderson, who was among a number of long-serving players to leave Anfield.
This season has seen Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp blood young talents like 17-year-old winger Ben Doak and 20-year-old defender Jarell Quansah along with new signings Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch.
Van Dijk told the PA news agency: 'I don't see it as a challenge, things happen for a reason, players move on and new players come in, players get new roles and I think that's a very exciting thing.
