Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk is hopeful of more quality additions to the club's squad this summer.

The Dutchman has been vocal in recent months about the club's need to strengthen.

While on international duty, Van Dijk admitted he was happy to learn that Alexis Mac Allister had signed from Brighton.

"I think [Mac Allister] is a very good player, obviously we have played against him many times [with Liverpool] and also with Holland against Argentina," Van Dijk said on Dutch duty.

"I think he will definitely be a big addition and something that we need, you know, in order to be back where we want to be.

"So it's a good start to the transfer window and hopefully we get a couple of more quality additions. But he is definitely one of the players that can make a difference for us in the next couple of years."
