Virgil van Dijk Plays Down Talk of New Liverpool Contract
Virgil van Dijk has played down suggestions that he is in the process of discussing a new deal at Liverpool, explaining his focus is purely on playing football at present.
The Dutchman is widely considered one of the world's finest defenders, after impressing for the Reds throughout his near two-year stint in Merseyside since joining from Southampton for £75m in January 2018.
\u202aDifficult night last night and disappointing result but we must put it behind us and now it’s about how we react. It’s time to stand up, be positive and focus on putting in a big performance against Chelsea. Thanks to all of the travelling reds who came out to support us #LFC \ud83d\ude01\u202c
