'Best in the world' - Liverpool fans celebrate after Virgil van Dijk signs new deal and cements legend status at Anfield

Premier League

Leicester

Liverpool

<p>On Thursday, Liverpool confirmed that captain <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-keep-captain-virgil-van-dijk-joins-mohamed-salah-extending-contract-anfield-arne-slot-project/blt83a64acdeca54d78" target="_blank">Van Dijk had extended his stay at Anfield</a>, with the 33-year-old signing a new two-year deal until 2027. Now, Reds fans have rejoiced about this news on social media.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://x.com/Slotoholic/status/1912813527619805233" target="_blank">@Slotoholic</a> wrote on X: "314 appearances. 27 goals. Premier League. Champions League. FIFA Club World Cup. UEFA Super Cup. FA Cup. 2 League Cups. PFA Players’ Player of the Year. 4 x Premier League Team of the Year. Best in the world. @VirgilvDijk."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/HenryJackson87/status/1912813652161310807" target="_blank">@HenryJackson87</a> tweeted: "If we see a better centre-back and right-sided attacker at Liverpool in our lifetime, we will be very lucky. Van Dijk and Salah extending for two years is far bigger than any new signing."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/AnfieldRd96/status/1912808985758957751" target="_blank">@AnfieldRd96</a> commented: "This is what legends look like."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/SamueILFC/status/1912808349638230369" target="_blank">@SamueILFC</a> posted: "Our Captain is staying for 2 more years. THINGS YOU LOVE TO SEE," and @SeanDOlfc added: "GOATTT."</p><p></p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Van Dijk is one of the best centre-backs in the world so to keep him on for another two years is a huge boost for Liverpool. This comes hot on the heels of fellow club legend <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-stays-liverpool-confirm-new-deal-egyptian-king-contract/blt625460e1eefc582d" target="_blank">Mohamed Salah penning a two-year deal</a> as the Reds try to become a dominant force in European football once more. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Van Dijk is likely to lead Liverpool when they travel to lowly Leicester City on Sunday as they try to claim another Premier League title.</p>
