Virgil van Dijk: Greatest Liverpool signing ever

Virgil van Dijk: Greatest signing ever. Liverpool fans have claimed Virgil van Dijk is one of the best transfer deals of all time, and is almost certainly the “best signing of the decade”, after the official Liverpool Twitter account highlighted that it’s been two years since he joined from Southampton.

Liverpool fans have hailed Virgil van Dijk as one of the best signings in the history of football, on the two-year anniversary of the Reds buying the centre-back from Southampton. Van Dijk has been crucial to Liverpool’s success under Jurgen Klopp, and many supporters have praised the £76million “bargain”.

Van Dijk arrived from Southampton officially on January 1 2018, after lengthy talks. Klopp’s side confirmed that they had reached an agreement with Saints on December 27 2017. “Liverpool Football Club can confirm they have reached an agreement with Southampton for the transfer of Virgil van Dijk,” a club statement read, at the time.

“The Reds have agreed to a deal with the south coast club, and the player himself, that will see the 26-year-old defender move to Anfield when the transfer window re-opens on January 1, 2018. “The Netherlands international will be assigned squad number four, upon his arrival at Liverpool.”

Liverpool’s official Twitter account reminded fans that it’s been exactly two years since a deal for Van Dijk was agreed. Fans praised the club’s superb business, which broke the transfer fee record for a defender, at the time.

“GREATEST SIGNING OF ALL TIME,” tweeted one Liverpool supporter. Virgil Van Dijk joined Liverpool from Southampton on the 27th of December in 2017 for a reported fee of £75 million.

Below are his achievements with the Reds since then.
