Indeed, he may be 33 years old now, but there’s no hiding from the fact that Van Dijk is still the best centre-back in the Premier League.
Jarrod Bowen has been West Ham United’s star man for as long as many can remember, with Ally McCoist even dubbing him “something special.”
When the winger was brought in all those years ago, nobody knew how much of a legend he’d become to the Hammers.
Even though clubs such as Liverpool have shown an interest in him over the years, the Englishman has stayed loyal to the Hammers, much to Danny Dyer’s delight.
Before he joined Liverpool, Leoni wasn’t a well-known player outside of Italy, with clubs such as Inter Milan vying for his transfer due to the regular role he played for Parma in the Serie A last term.
However, since the Italian is still just 18 years old, he has plenty of room to grow and what better way is there to do that than to learn from the very best.

Van Dijk has two years left on his current deal with Liverpool, and before he leaves, he must ensure Leoni is mentored and ready to take over.
