Van Dijk extends Liverpool contract until 2027

Liverpool skipper Virgil Van Dijk has extended his contract which will see the Dutch centre back stay at Anfield until 2027, the Premier League club said on Thursday, ending a protracted saga that had dragged on for several months.

"It's a proud feeling, it's a feeling of joy. It's just incredible. The journey I've had so far in my career, to be able to extend it with another two years at this club is amazing and I'm so happy," Van Dijk said in a statement.
