Netherlands booked their spot in the last 16 of the World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Qatar on Tuesday afternoon, with Virgil van Dijk the second Liverpool player to reach the knockout stages of the tournament.

Van Dijk is the second Liverpool player to reach the knockout stages of the tournament so far, with Ibrahima Konate‘s France securing their place in the last 16 with victory over Denmark on Saturday.



Should England finish second, that will set up a last 16 clash against the Netherlands, meaning Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson could come up against Van Dijk.



Captain Van Dijk completed the full 90 minutes yet again, with Netherlands’ progression extending his stay in Qatar until Saturday at the very earliest.



However, having emerged as one of the breakout players at the World Cup, there are certain to be plenty of other interested parties, and PSV’s asking price will only be on the rise.

According to Dutch outlet Voetbal International, Liverpool are set to enter into talks with Gakpo’s representatives, but will need to pay around €50 million if they’re to prize him away from Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side in January.

Gakpo is predominantly used in a left sided attacking role for PSV, but has been deployed in a front two in Louis van Gaal’s preferred 3-5-2 system at the World Cup.
