The huge compliment former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger had for Liverpool star Virgil Van Dijk

Arsene Wenger has said that it's difficult to find a weak point in Virgil Van Dijk's game.

The Liverpool defender has truly established himself as one of the worlds' best players after making a huge impact at Anfield.

The centre-back was signed in January 2018 and made an immediate impression on Merseyside as he solidified a back four which was previously suspect.

The signing of Van Dijk established the Reds as genuine title contenders and the Dutch international was a key part of the team which won the Champions League and so nearly beat Manchester City to the Premier League title.

To top things off, Van Dijk was recently nominated as one of three contenders for the Ballon D'or award - the prize for the worlds' best footballer in 2019.

Speaking to beIN Sports , Wenger was full of praise for the defender.

He said: "What is interesting with him is that you feel like there is more in him than what he does.

"He's very good one against one - it's difficult to find a weak point in his game."
