Klavan relaxed with new Liverpool signing van Dijk

Ragnar Klavan has welcomed the arrival of Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool, even though it means increased competition at the heart of the side's defence, reports Sky Sports.

The 32-year-old Estonian scored a 94th-minute winner to secure Liverpool all three points away to Burnley on Monday, but his playing time could be curtailed with the £75m signing of Van Dijk from Southampton.

However, Klavan is relishing the challenge, saying: "He is a good addition to our team. It is like it is for everyone: there is competition and competition is good for all places."
