The young English attacker has followed the Premier League closely this season and is ready to pit his wits against the in-form Dutchman
Van Dijk has proven a lynchpin in a Liverpool backline that has conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League this season and has them just a point off City in the title race with just two games remaining.
The centre-back has not allowed a single player to successfully dribble past him this season, nor has any player managed it since March of last season in the Premier League.
And when asked about Van Dijk’s victory, along with that statistic, England international Sancho noted he’ll get a chance to succeed where others have failed when the Three Lions face the defender and the Netherlands in the Nations League semi-finals in June.
“Nations League is coming up!” Sancho told Sky Sports with a laugh.
“I’ve been watching a lot of Premier League games and I’ve seen him. He’s a great defender. He shows his ability on the pitch and that’s why he’s probably one of the best defenders in the world right now.
