Virgil van Dijk insists he trusts Liverpool to buy the right players as the transfer market threatens to go bonkers.
Liverpool have had a British record £111million offer for Moses Caicedo accepted by Brighton amid stiff competition for Chelsea. Liverpool switched to Caicedo after failing with three bids for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, the last of which was £46million.
The Reds are desperate to sign another No.6 after selling skipper Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia and van Dijk insists he has faith in them. The Liverpool skipper insists that faith is well placed because of the club’s success in the transfer market under Jurgen Klopp.
“The thing is, whether we need to sign a player for a particular position, yes or no, any top club at the moment would love to improve their squad,” said van Dijk. “So why wouldn’t we as players either.
“We all want quality signings and that’s what we’ve done so far. So we trust the club. I definitely trust the club. They did quite good business over the last years, so why not now as well?

“You’ll see us linked with almost every midfielder in the world, so just wait and see. We have professionals working on it and that’s the most important thing.
“Like I said before, we trust the club, we play for the club, and we trust the club to do the right thing. We’ll see what happens in the next couple of weeks.”
