And despite only playing in the Premier League for six seasons, Kompany has claimed that Van Dijk is the best defender the league has ever seen.
“I would return it to Virgil van Dijk,” said Kompany. SPORT.
“It is strange because it has not been on the scene since we mentioned these names: John Terry, Rio Ferdinand. These boys were there for a long time.
“But the signs he has shown in his later years only make it so obvious that if he had been at the top level before that, he would have gone further as well.
“From what I’ve seen in terms of having an impact on a team, and a defender is never about himself, it’s about communicating with other guys and how to make his team stronger.”
“Liverpool before van Dijk and the one after him is a completely different setup and I’ll give him that for that.”
