Ryan Babel Claims Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk Has a Weakness Yet to Be Exposed in the Premier League

Fulham winger Ryan Babel has claimed Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has a weakness that has yet to be exposed in the Premier League.

The duo are teammates at international level with the Netherlands, and ahead of the Cottagers' clash with the title-chasing Reds on Sunday, Babel admitted that whilst the £75m defender has developed considerably in recent seasons, he still sees a flaw in his game.

He told The Times: "Virgil has definitely developed over the past few years. I think he can get better by 30 per cent. I still feel he plays on 70 per cent.
