The saga surrounding Liverpool's leaders is gradually beginning to resolve. Mohamed Salah has already extended his contract with the club, but Arsenal legend Thierry Henry expects a similar decision with another leading footballer.
Details: The Frenchman noted that the most valuable player is Virgil van Dijk, and therefore his contract must be extended. The central defender is the cornerstone of the club, despite the fact that there may be players who are technically superior.
Quote: “That's why I keep saying he's the most important player to sign. You have guys who may be much better technically, but he's like the foundation of your club.
You saw how determined he was: ‘I want to score.’ Who can do that? He said he wanted to score, and he went on to score. That doesn't happen often.
He doesn't need to defend; he's very smart. I said he's the most important player in Liverpool. Then you've got the most valuable player - Mo Salah, but Van Dijk is the most important,” Henry stated.
