Should Liverpool target Pontus Jansson instead of Virgil van Dijk?

Liverpool are among the host of Premier League clubs linked with a move for Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk in the summer.

The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the finest centre-backs in the Premier League. His physical presence, ability to play from the back, and his reading of the game is second to none.

Liverpool are looking to bolster their defence this summer. Jurgen Klopp has earmarked Van Dijk as a top priority target. However, he won’t come cheap. If the reports are to be believed, the defender would cost around £50m.
