Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk's quality has surprised Reds manager Arne Slot, who says the defender is on "another level".
Van Dijk, 33, is in the last six months of his contract and made his 300th appearance for the Reds in Saturday's 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.
During his eight years at Anfield, the Dutch centre-half has won the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, Uefa Super Cup, the FA Cup and the League Cup twice.
His future at the club remains in doubt, but he has led Liverpool to the top of the Premier League, into the last 16 of the Champions League and the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup this season.
