The Liverpool captain is getting back to the form he showed before a serious knee injury in 2020.
Former Liverpool captain Sami Hyypia believes Virgil van Dijk will prove he is the best centre-back in the Premier League again this season
However, there are signs the current Reds skipper is edging closer to his best with his commanding performance in the weekend’s Merseyside derby win over Everton another indicator of a return to his previous high level.“He is one of the best in the business in the world,” Hyypia told the PA news agency at a Nike Game On initiative which, in conjunction with the LFC Foundation, has provided more than 8,000 local schoolchildren with access to a range of sports.
“I think this season he has shown in some games he is still at the level and I have no doubts he will be the best centre-back in the league this season.” But Hyypia has faith in both Liverpool’s full-backs, adding: “Trent is like a midfield player. He can pass short and long and has the vision to see the passes.
“Hopefully he is courageous and takes his chance. If that is not going to work then Jurgen needs to think of something else to solve the problem but I have confidence in Tsimikas that he can do the job.”
