Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has ended any uncertainty about his future by signing a new two-year contract that commits him to Anfield until the summer of 2027. The 33-year-old Netherlands international’s previous terms were scheduled to expire once this season concludes and for many months it was unclear if an agreement would be found.

Virgil van Dijk has hinted that the announcement of his new contract will come “next week,” with Mohamed Salah hopeful his Liverpool captain will be staying. Van Dijk scored a vital late winner as Liverpool beat West Ham 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday, kissing the badge in front of the Kop as he celebrated.
