Virgil van Dijk has signed a new deal to 2025 with Liverpool.

He signed a five-and-a-half-year deal when he left Southampton for what was then a world record fee of £75million for a defender but Liverpool have revamped his terms and the contract will run to June 2025.

Van Dijk is expected to start Saturday's opening Premier League clash at Norwich City.

He told Liverpoolfc.com: "Since day one when I joined the club, I felt so much appreciation from the fans and from my teammates and the staff, that I could be a very important member of this football club.

"It has been going well; unfortunately last season for me personally has been a season to forget, to learn from and take with me, but I have enjoyed my time here and will keep enjoying it in the next couple of years altogether with all of you.

"It didn't take too long to feel like that [at home], to be fair, with the help of my teammates, especially in the beginning, the staff and especially the fans, how they have welcomed me from the start.

"Where I am today, how I feel today, is [as] a very senior, important player for the team and for the club. That's just a fantastic feeling and why I definitely feel at home here."
