“I still watch him!” Saliba said of Van Dijk to The Mail.

“I really like his quality in one-against-one, his calmness, his composure, and his long balls as well.

“He has everything and, for me, he was a good defender to learn from… I think he was – for two or three years – the best defender in the world.”
