Virgil van Dijk has been previewing the weekend's game vs Accrington Stanley following the dropped points against Man Utd and the semi-final defeat at Tottenham.

Reports from Van Dijk's native Netherlands suggest Liverpool are willing to 'break to bank' and tie the defender down to a new deal. It's claimed by De Telegraaf that a deal is believed to be imminent for Van Dijk, who joined Liverpool in January 2018.

Liverpool are expected to “break open the bank’s safe” to tie Virgil van Dijk down to a new contract, one journalist in his native Netherlands believes. While it has been interpreted elsewhere as a major update on Van Dijk’s future, suggestions Liverpool are close to agreeing a new deal with their captain appear wide of the mark.
