Business has already begun in the January transfer window, Liverpool sign Van Dijk for world record fee for a defender 26 years old join Liverpool from Southampton for £75m The question is what will he bring to Liverpool?
£75m is too exorbitant for a defender because it’s not alone duty to defend but it’s the right step considering how scary City attack is you need a defender of this calibre to contend with City mighty attack. You’ve got the Champions League coming up against Porto you need assured defense capable of protecting 1-0 lead to the end because you won’t be lucky to lead 2,3, 4 goals at half time always. He will offer the reds stability and solidity. Can Van Dijk cope with the pressure of performing at high level week end week out?
Already he has the personality he’s capable of doing that he’s matured enough 26 isn’t just numbers in Football it comes with experience. He’s got a wealth of experience in EPL the physicality and speed. We all know he’s difficult to beat in the air it will be interesting to see how he handle attackers like Alvaro Morata and Harry Kane who both possess phenomenal strength in the air. In Liverpool he’s going partner with Matip so there’s an existing partnership. There he will get to support needed from the likes of Gomez and Lovren. I tip him to be succeeding Alderweilder when he came to England on loan from Athletic Madrid to Southampton he was their stand out performer but lacks support soon Tottenham Hotspur came calling for his signature now the rest is history. This is the best deal Liverpool has done has a matter of expediency remember Naby Kieta is coming in June so Liverpool will once again have a team capable of battling for the title.
