Van Dijk' adds something':' Will try to become friends with him'.

Liverpool made the transfer of Virgil van Dijk from Southampton to the Reds on New Year’s Day. The club of manager Jürgen Klopp put 84.5 million euros on the table to tie the Orange International. Roberto Firmino is proud that the 26-year-old Dutchman has joined Liverpool.

“He is a very good defender,”says Firmino on the Liverpool club site,”It is always very difficult to play against him. He covers very short and is a player with many qualities. Besides the fact that he is very physical, he also has his charisma with him. He is long and strong and on top of that comes his talent. I hope he can help us as much as possible.

“I’m really looking forward to playing with him and I welcome him with open arms and will try to become friends with him,” Firmino isn’t the only player from Liverpool who has praised words for Van Dijk. Joe Gomez also showed his admiration for the defender earlier on.

“For me personally, it’s someone I can learn a lot from. He is an experienced defender with a lot of quality. It is another person by whom I can develop further and from whom I can learn a lot. It gives you confidence that you are entering the field and think: we have a difficult task for us. But that you will then have Van Dijk,”said the twenty-year-old defender.

A good purchase of Liverpool?
