Virgil van Dijk has joined Mohamed Salah in signing a new contract with Liverpool. Van Dijk’s deal was due to expire at the end of the season but the Netherlands center back has penned a new, two-year contract.

In a post on the official Liverpool Instagram account, Van Dijk can be heard making a tongue-in-cheek quip at Salah after Anfield was the stage for his contract unveiling. The Dutchman's came in front of a red wall draped with artwork and pictures of the Reds captain's high points during his career on Merseyside.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot believes extending the contracts of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk shows the ambition the club has in the coming years.
