Andy Gray has heaped praise on Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, claiming the towering defender is the best centre back in the world.
Van Dijk joined Liverpool from Southampton in January and has been a vital part of the Reds' impressive form in 2018. He has made 29 appearances for the club since his arrival, and has formed an impressive partnership with Joe Gomez in the heart of Liverpool's defence this season.
Speaking on beIN Sports, Gray was happy to admit that van Dijk has thoroughly surprised him, adding that he now believes that the Dutchman is the best defender in the world.
