Steven Gerrard has named Virgil van Dijk as his favorite defender on the planet right now.
Former Liverpool star was asked to pick a five-a-side team of the Premier League's all-time greats when speaking on the PFA’s YouTube channel.
It was hard for Gerrard to choose between Chelsea legend John Terry and Van Dijk, so he went on to share his high praise for Liverpool's new captain.
“I would have to pick John Terry. But obviously, biasedly I would love to pick Big Virg because I think he has transformed Liverpool over the past five or six years and he’s my favourite defender in the world right now, but from personal experience I played with John for England for over 10 years and he’d get into anyone’s XI,” he said, via TBR Football.
"I’m sorry Virg, but I still love you," Gerrard added.
