Van Dijk names Liverpool players he thinks belongs among world’s elite

Liverpool’s next test comes with a reminder of the standards required at the very top, delivered by our captain in an unguarded moment away from the pitch.

Virgil Van Dijk was asked which young Liverpool player could follow him into the FIFPRO World 11, having been named himself, in a clip shared by @fifpro on TikTok.

The Netherlands international replied: “Probably Florian Wirtz, and Ryan Gravenberch” before noting that the midfielders are “not the youngest anymore,” but still capable of reaching that level.
