John van’t Schip and Michael Valkanis are convinced the teenage defender will flourish at Anfield, but want to see expectations lowered at this stage
Liverpool have got “lucky” in winning the race for Dutch teenager Sepp van den Berg though it would be “stupid” to compare the 17-year-old with Virgil van Dijk, say a pair of the teenager's former coaches.
The Reds have snapped up a highly-rated defender for £1.3 million, beating the likes of Bayern Munich and Ajax to his signature.
Big things are expected of a promising talent who has already been billed as ‘Baby Van Dijk’.
