Most appearances with Virgil van Dijk

After signing a new contract at Liverpool, we take a look at the players defender Virgil van Dijk has shared the pitch with on the most occasions so far in his illustrious career.

Mohamed Salah

While Virgil van Dijk has been colossal at the back for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has been, and continues to be, the huge inspiration for the club at the other end of the pitch.

Andrew Robertson

Virgil van Dijk has led a Liverpool defence that has become one of the most impressive units in Premier League history and Andrew Robertson has become a vital component of that in his role at left-back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Another virtual ever-present in the back four alongside Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold has hugely benefitted from the experience and leadership the Dutchman has shown for the current Premier League leaders.

Alisson

No matter how solid Virgil van Dijk and his defence have been over the years, you are arguably only as good as the goalkeeper between the sticks.

Alisson has played a massive part in Liverpool's success and has developed into one of the greatest goalkeepers in Premier League history.

Sadio Mane

Widely regarded as one of the greatest African footballers in recent times, Sadio Mane helped to provide the attacking flair while Virgil van Dijk led the team in their defensive duties.

Jordan Henderson

A key part to Liverpool's trophy haul in recent seasons has been the spine of the team and Jordan Henderson was a monumental figure in the midfield before his departure.

Roberto Firmino

Like Virgil van Dijk, Roberto Firmino is adored by the Liverpool faithful and was part of a deadly attacking trio alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Georginio Wijnaldum

Georginio Wijnaldum and Virgil van Dijk were the Dutch duo that formed a massive part of the strong spine that led Liverpool to their UEFA Champions League success in 2019.

Fabinho

Between 2018 and 2023, Brazilian midfielder Fabinho was often the unsung hero of Liverpool's hugely successful outfit.

James Milner

When you think of underrated and versatile, James Milner is often one of the first players that springs to mind. A lot of the success Virgil van Dijk has led Liverpool to over the years is down to players like Milner who give everything for the club.
