"As good as Van Dijk": Carragher raves about player Liverpool sold for under £1m

Liverpool let go of Conor Coady in 2014, and he has gone on to excel at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Jamie Carragher reckons ex-Liverpool defender Conor Coady is as good as Virgil van Dijk at passing forward from the back. Liverpool let go of Coady in 2014 when he signed for Huddersfield Town for under £1 million. One year later, he joined Wolves and has since been a key part of the squad. Carragher feels that his passing range is actually just as good as Van Dijk’s. “Conor Coady has also done brilliantly for Wolves; he has not missed a minute this season and is probably as good as anyone alongside Van Dijk in terms of passing from the back,” the Liverpool legend said. Coady has helped Wolves have an impressive season so far, with his powerful performances at the defence. Source: HITC
