VAN DIJK TELLS LIVERPOOL HE WANTS TO SIGN A NEW CONTRACT WITH THE CLUB (ESPN)

Virgil van Dijk has told Liverpool he wants to sign a new contract with the club, according to ESPN.

The world's most expensive defender signed a five-and-a-half-year deal upon his £75 million switch from Southampton in January 2018, but is already enthusiastic about further solidifying his commitment to the Champions League winners.



The 27-year-old made the declaration to the club well in advance of Liverpool's 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid, which saw them add a sixth European Cup -- the first trophy of the Jurgen Klopp era.
