Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah appreciates the leadership of captain Virgil van Dijk.

Quansah admits he follows his senior defensive partner's example.

He told liverpoolfc.com: “I think what he has been doing over the past five or 10 years has been unrivalled, especially in the Premier League.

“He's had flawless seasons, he's been a vital part of what Liverpool's identity has been. So to play next to him is so good and I can learn so much from him.

“There's times where he's constructive and just says it how it is and tells me what I need to improve on, and there's times where, especially on the pitch because the crowd's loud, he needs to shout and make examples in different ways.

“You can't go much wrong if you just listen to what he's saying! He's always in your ear, always talking, which is so helpful."
