Virgil van Dijk has changed things around for Liverpool since joining the club in 2018. A lot of people believed that the Reds spent a lot on the defender. However, the £75 million spent on Van Dijk proved to be their smartest decision.

Van Dijk has since proved to be one of the best defenders in Europe. Not many players have managed to dribble past the big Dutch man. Along with defending, the 28-year-old also has a knack of heading the ball into the net.
