Liverpool defender Van Dijk likens Kelleher to Dida

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has hailed the preseason form of goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Kelleher has received some huge praise from Van Dijk during Liverpool's pre-season trip to Austria.

In a training clip shared by LFC TV, the 22-year-old pulled off a fine save during a practice session and Van Dijk, watching from behind the goal was clearly impressed.

Turning to the camera, the defender compared Kelleher to AC Milan great Nelson Dida.

He said: “Look at Caoimhin though. Absolutely flames. He's playing like Dida, from the Brazil team."
