Virgil van Dijk signs ‘amazing’ new Liverpool contract in huge boost for Arne Slot
Liverpool have announced that Virgil van Dijk has extended his contract with the club. The defender, who says it is “amazing” to confirm his future, was set to become a free agent at the end of the season but has now put pen to paper on a new two-year deal with the Reds to end the speculation.
Van Dijk has once again been a stalwart this season, under a new manager Arne Slot. He has made 44 appearances in all competitions so far and scored four goals – with his most recent coming in the Reds’ 2-1 win against West Ham last weekend. The Netherlands international has been a key influence in the heart of the Liverpool backline throughout the campaign, despite injuries threatening to cause Slot issues defensively.
