Carragher believes Van Dijk is the best centre-back in Europe

Jamie Carragher believes Virgil van Dijk is now the best centre-back in Europe, according to LiverpoolFC.com.

The Dutchman has been a revelation at Anfield since his £75million move from Southampton last year, transforming Jurgen Klopp’s defence.

And Carragher, who donned a Reds short again for the Legends match at Anfield on Saturday, thinks Liverpool’s No.4 is deserving of the praise he’s been getting recently.

“I do actually,” Carragher said, when asked if he thinks Van Dijk is the best in Europe right now.

“With the performances he has given this year I think he’s been the best player in the Premier League. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t win PFA Player of the Year.

“When he first signed there were maybe raised eyebrows at the amount but if somebody offered you double now you probably wouldn’t take it, that’s how good he has been.

“He is at a great age and we know centre-backs go on a bit longer, so hopefully we’ll see him for the next decade.”
