German great, Franz Beckenbauer, has revealed that he’s a big fan of Liverpool defender, Virgil van Dijk.

Indeed, Beckenbauer believes Van Dijk’s game is faultless.

Beckenbauer told France Football: “The manner and style of play of Virgil van Dijk amazes me.

“He’s a player who has amazed me since I saw him at Liverpool and with the Netherlands national team.

“He exudes quite impressive power and self-confidence. He imposes it at all levels.

“I see absolutely no fault in him.

“At first glance, you might get the feeling that because of his large size, he lacks mobility and flexibility, but that’s not the case at all.

“He has an exceptional sense of anticipation, and he is very agile. I love this player.“
