Football pundit Robbie Savage believes Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk is currently the best defender in the world.
Whilst speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, the former Wales international claimed that the 27-year-old Reds defender was the number one option in his position across the world’s leagues.
Savage stated: “Van Dijk is the best centre half in the world at the moment.”
Liverpool signed the Dutch defender, who has 19 first team appearances for the Netherlands, in a £75m move from fellow Premier League club Southampton in the January transfer window, making him the most expensive defender in the world.
