Robbie Savage Hails Liverpool Star as ‘Best in the World’ After Latest Premier League Win

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.
