Liverpool, April 14 (NationPress) Liverpool's captain Virgil Van Dijk is optimistic about the club's plans to strengthen its squad during the upcoming summer transfer window as they prepare for the next season.
Currently, Liverpool is at the forefront of the Premier League title race and is poised to secure it. Van Dijk is confident that the Merseyside club will continue to vie for titles in the coming years.
“I believe Liverpool is set to challenge for titles in the future. Regardless of what happens with player movements this summer, I anticipate it will be a significant period for us,” stated Van Dijk.
“I think they are strategizing to make this summer impactful, and as devoted Liverpool fans, we should have faith in the board to make the right decisions,” Van Dijk was quoted by The Athletic.
Following a mix-up resulting in an own goal by Andy Robertson, Liverpool's captain managed to rise above the rest and net a header, securing a 2-1 victory against West Ham United on Sunday.

“As I mentioned last week, there has been positive movement, so we shall see. This week is crucial, particularly with the Hillsborough anniversary on Tuesday. That’s the primary focus, and then we will wait for any updates. I am aware, but uncertain!”
“I joined the club in late 2017 for numerous reasons, including the significance it holds for all Scousers and the immense pride it brings to fans worldwide in being associated with Liverpool,” Van Dijk concluded.
