Virgil van Dijk has shared how Jurgen Klopp informed the Liverpool team of his decision to resign as manager last year.

Virgil van Dijk was signed by Jurgen Klopp during his time in charge of Liverpool.

But Arne is more specific.

"He has a clear idea of the way he wants his teams to play, which is different to how we were under Jurgen, which was already obviously super successful...It was a challenge [to adapt to], but it has been a good challenge."

Confirmed as Premier League winners on Sunday after thrashing Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield and rocketing 15 points ahead of Arsenal with four games yet to go, the Liverpool captain can now celebrate in earnest.

Nearly five years ago, Van Dijk's season screeched to a halt when he suffered an ACL injury during a 2-2 draw against Everton following a rash challenge by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Reflecting on this painful moment, the Netherlands skipper regards the gruelling recovery period post his October 2020 injury as one of the most impactful stretches of his life.
