Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is out of contract at the end of the season. The Dutchman has been at his imperious best so far this term under countryman Arne Slot.

The Reds' skipper is out of contract next summer, and a deal has yet to be agreed upon to extend his stay at Anfield.

Virgil van Dijk has been told there is ‘only one club’ he should consider leaving Liverpool for. Van Dijk has looked back to his very best for title-chasing Liverpool this season, starring in a defence that has conceded just 16 goals in 16 games under Arne Slot.

The CIES Football Observatory has published data on the most used players over the course of the calendar year, with Barcelona's Jules Koundé atop the list and Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk and Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde among the top five.

Van Dijk will be free to speak to other clubs next week as his Liverpool future still remain uncertain despite the club offering him a new contract
