Virgil van Dijk has handed Liverpool a huge boost on the eve of the season by becoming the latest player to sign a new contract extension. He signed a five-and-a-half-year deal when he left Southampton for what was then a world record fee of £75million for a defender but Liverpool have revamped his terms and the contract will run to June 2025. Liverpool have so far successfully renegotiated deals for Fabinho, Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, as well as promising youngster Harvey Elliott. Asked how it felt to have inked the fresh terms, Van Dijk told the club website: 'Amazing. 'All the hard work we've put in so far continues and I am looking forward to what the future brings together with Liverpool.
