Virgil van Dijk breaks silence on Anfield transfer situation

Virgil van Dijk insists he trusts Liverpool to buy the right players as the transfer market threatens to go bonkers.

Liverpool have had a British record £111million offer for Moses Caicedo accepted by Brighton Albion amid stiff competition for Chelsea. Liverpool switched to Caicedo after failing with three bids for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, the last of which was £46million.

The Reds are desperate to sign another No.6 after selling skipper Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia and van Dijk insists he has faith in them.‌ The Liverpool skipper insists that faith is well placed because of the club’s success in the transfer market under Jurgen Klopp.

“The thing is, whether we need to sign a player for a particular position, yes or no, any top club at the moment would love to improve their squad,” said van Dijk. “So why wouldn’t we as players either.

“We all want quality signings and that’s what we’ve done so far. So we trust the club. I definitely trust the club. They did quite good business over the last years, so why not now as well?

“If you follow social media, you get dizzy with all the names. In my opinion, it’s speculation and they try to guess names to put fuel on the fire and stuff and that’s how the internet works.
