Virgil van Dijk has forged quite the career for himself during his time at Liverpool.
The Dutchman joined the club back at the start of 2018 for a club record fee of just over £76million.
Since then, Van Dijk has helped the club to Champions League and Premier League victory.
This also included a UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup in between, a fine haul for just three years at the club.
However, it has recently been revealed one of the main reasons as to why the Dutchman joined the club.
Speaking to the club on their official website, Van Dijk revealed that Jordan Henderson convinced him to join…
As cited by The Anfield Talk above, it is great to hear about the impact that Henderson had on Van Dijk joining.
The interview with the Dutchman was to celebrate Henderson’s ten years at the club.
Our captain has done plenty of incredible things at the club, but convincing Van Dijk to join has to be up there.
The pair have become integral parts of Jurgen Klopp’s squad and have become important members at the club.
It is always interesting to hear what convinces players to join certain clubs and Van Dijk’s story is a great one.
Many would have thought that the main draw would have been Klopp and the clubs ambitions.
No doubt these played a part, but Henderson’s influence on the Dutchman’s decision was clearly paramount.
