# Van Dijk impressed with “dangerous” Shaqiri

Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk has revealed that he believes summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri gives the team an extra dimension, according to a report on [Goal](https://www.goal.com/en/news/shaqiri-giving-liverpool-an-extra-dimension-van-dijk/yk2ocmy63a2u1het4xo3kq0ws).

The attacking midfielder has settled into the Liverpool squad well and has quickly become a fan favourite.

The Swiss international managed to find the back of the net to seal Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Fulham at Anfield on Sunday.

The former Stoke City man was given a well-deserved standing ovation by the home fans as he was taken off late on by manager Jurgen Klopp.

Van Dijk has been impressed with Shaqiri and said:

> He’s been playing well. He is working hard like everyone else and when he gets his chance he is doing well.

> He scored \[today\] but he’s been pretty important in the last couple of games he’s been involved, which is good for all of us.

> Shaqiri is a guy with different qualities and with his left foot, he is always dangerous. He has been doing well and we are very happy to have him.
