Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool have a 'fantastic future' coming up

  /  autty

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is confident of a bright future for the club following their sixth Champions League success.

"I think the future looks pretty bright," said Van Dijk, who also collected the PFA Players' Player of the Year award last term.

"We have a fantastic team with players that want to develop, that want to give everything for the team and for the club.

"[There is] so much quality in the team; sometimes you don't even realise how good [a group of] players we have - and also on the bench that want to play and be part of the team. So we have a fantastic future coming up."

But while Van Dijk acknowledges his high level of form, he prefers to see praise shared collectively by the back four and the rest of the team.

"I have been consistent. I've been feeling great, with the help - obviously - of all my team-mates. But everyone has been fantastic," he added.

"If you look around the team, Robbo (Andy Robertson) has had his best season ever. Trent (Alexander-Arnold) has been amazing for such a young guy, so mature. And all the centre-backs... and obviously the rest of the team have been performing at such a high level."
