Steve Nicol Names the Tottenham Defender He'd Love to Partner Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool

Former Liverpool player and Anfield legend Steve Nicol has revealed that the defender he'd like to see link up with Jurgen Klopp's side to partner Virgil van Dijk in defence is Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld.

The Spurs man, who has a £25m release clause, has been heavily linked with a move away from Mauricio Pochettino's side, with Manchester United one such side believed to be interested in the former Ajax and Atletico Madrid defender.

Van Dijk has been a monster in defence since joining Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018, with some labelling him the best defender in world football after some dominant displays for his country and in the Premier League.
