Virgil Van Dijk Backs 'Very Good' Liverpool Teammate to Be Contender for Major Honour

Van Dijk highlights Szoboszlai’s versatility and leadership as key traits, noting his 10 goals this season amid ongoing contract talks and uncertainty over vice-captain Robertson.

  • Virgil van Dijk said Dominik Szoboszlai has shown leadership this season and has the qualities to one day captain Liverpool FC.
  • Amid Real Madrid links, talks are continuing over a new contract while Szoboszlai remains on his original deal after his 60million move in summer 2023, with his agent insisting they are not seeking moves elsewhere.
  • Szoboszlai this season has been Liverpool's most consistent performer, filling multiple roles including right-back and reaching 10 goals against Brighton.
  • Van Dijk said the armband is the manager's call, while Arne Slot called Szoboszlai a potential future captain and the Liverpool squad pledged full support.
  • Looking to the longer term, club sources say there is progress and they hope Szoboszlai will be very important for the years to come at Liverpool with Robertson out of contract this summer.
