Former Manchester United defender turned pundit Gary Neville has admitted he has been surprised to see the impact that Virgil van Dijk has had at Liverpool following the centre back's big money move to Anfield back in January.
The Netherlands international put pen to paper on a five and a half year contract on Merseyside following months of speculation surrounding the move, eventually ending a three-year spell with Southampton for an estimated £75m.
Since then, the former Celtic defender has helped marshal Jürgen Klopp's defence and was vital in guiding them to the Champions League final last season, even acting as a key part of Dejan Lovren's recent form which was on display at the World Cup.
