“The captaincy has not been announced yet so I can’t say much about it,” Liverpoolfc.com quoted Van Dijk as saying

“But obviously I’ve captained the side multiple times already over the last couple of years and it’s always a proud moment. We would see what the future brings but it would be a huge honour to captain the side.

“Yeah I see leaders definitely and players definitely and players who can become leaders of the team. We have a lot of players who can and have to take responsibility. ”

Van Dijk bagged three goals and one assist in 32 Premier League games last season.
