Another added: “I could seriously watch him run all day in that LFC training kit.

“Still can't believe it's happened after all the drama in summer.”

And a third commented: “I want someone to look at me the way he looks at Klopp.”

The 26-year-old has admitted Liverpool is the “perfect match” for him and his family.

“Obviously there is a lot of money being paid, but I can't do anything about that money,” he said. “It's only the market.

“That's what I definitely want to do - and I am going to do.”

Van Dijk could make his first appearance for Liverpool when they host Merseyside rivals Everton in the FA Cup on Friday (January 5).
