Jamie Carragher Backs Expensive Liverpool Star to 'Look Like a Bargain' With Performances

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has praised Jurgen Klopp's spending this summer, and claimed that Virgil van Dijk's price tag will 'look like a bargain' in time.

Liverpool broke the world record transfer fee for a defender when they brought the Dutchman to Anfield in January, but former Reds centre-back Carragher insisted that the money paid was well worth it.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Carragher said: “They’ve got Van Dijk, who was a huge amount of money, but I always say it doesn’t matter how much money you spend on a player – if he performs, he’ll look worth it.
