Virgil van Dijk makes bold Liverpool declaration and bullish Arne Slot claim
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has quashed speculation of a summer transfer
move by insisting that he's 'enthusiastic' about next season under new manager
Arne Slot.
But the Dutch defender has now allayed fears of his departure, adding that
he's his 'confident' Slot's reign will be a 'big success'. "I still have a
year left on my contract. I am club captain and I have made it clear I am
there for the new coach and enthusiastic over the next season," Van Dijk
declared on Monday.
"Obviously, there will be a lot of changes but I am confident we will make a
big success of it. I congratulated him of course and I'm really pleased for
him and his family. We spoke about the team and the future, but now my focus
is fully on the national team."

plan
The Liverpool defender, who was speaking at the start of the Netherlands'
training camp ahead of this summer's European Championship, reiterated his
desire to remain on Merseyside earlier this month before Slot's long-awaited
appointment was confirmed.
"I am very happy here, I love the club and you can see that as well. It's a
big part of my life already," Van Dijk told TNT Sports. "There will be a big
transition and I am part of that.
"There will be a lot of changes happening and, I wouldn't say scary is the
right word, but it is quite interesting and exciting what will happen now."
