Virgil van Dijk shares what he’s ‘heard’ about Liverpool plans as defender ‘very excited’ | Football | Sport

“Players are leaving, players come in and will be ready. I think everyone that can come in and improve us will help the football club and push us all. It’s always good.

“If I’m a player on the rise and I have options to go to the next step and Liverpool is knocking on my door, then I would be very, very interested. I don’t think it’s going to change much if we’re not in the Champions League. Everybody knows we’ve been going through a little bit of a transition and we’ll miss the players leaving, not only Bobby, I’ll miss each and every one of them. 

“They have all played their part, they’ve been successful, and they’re respected. But we have some exciting young players, yeah, and that will be the focus next season, to make sure everyone’s ready to contribute, no matter what age you are.”
