Virgil van Dijk reveals the best player he has played with at Liverpool - but it is NOT Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane... as the defender also admits Frenkie de Jong is the stand-out for Holland

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has labelled the best player he has ever played alongside - but it may come as a surprise to most.

The 31-year-old, who is currently preparing to play for Holland at the 2022 World Cup, admitted that current team-mate Roberto Firmino topped the list over the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Van Dijk has played alongside the Brazilian forward at Liverpool ever since he joined the club from Southampton in January 2018 - winning every major trophy in that period including the Premier League and Champions League.
