Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he is seriously considering starting the club's newest signing, Virgil van Dijk, against Everton in the third round of the FA Cup on Friday.
The Dutch defender made his switch to Anfield from Southampton official on January 1, where the £75m deal made the 26-year-old the club's record signing and world football's most expensive defender.
The Times reporter Paul Joyce posted on his Twitter account during Klopp's press conference, ahead of the clash against their local rivals at Anfield, that starting van Dijk is something he is considering.
The centre-back is destined to slot straight into Liverpool's back-line once Klopp is of the belief that he is up to speed with his style of play, and the Reds' game against the Toffees is the first match the Netherlands international is eligible to play for his new club since making the switch - which could offer the Anfield faithful their first glimpse at their newest signing in action.
