“Virgil van Dijk will have to wait until Friday’s FA Cup Merseyside derby before he can play”
The world record fee for a defender was agreed with Southampton on the 27 December, but with the transfer window only opening today, the Dutchman had to wait before his official unveiling.
The Reds are in action this afternoon away to Burnley, but Van Dijk will have to wait until Friday’s FA Cup Merseyside derby before he can play.
Van Dijk said: “With the history at the club and everything around it - even the training ground and stuff - it is just a perfect, perfect match for me, and for my family as well.
"Obviously there is a lot of money being paid, but I can't do anything about that money. It's only the market.
"The only thing I can do is just work hard, do the good things and be 100 per cent every day. That's what I definitely want to do - and I am going to do."
