Vincent Kompany names Liverpool star as Premier League’s best ever defender

Former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has named Virgil van Dijk as the best defender in the Premier League history. Virgil van Dijk joined Liverpool in 2018 and since that has become a key part to Jurgen Klopp's side. The 28-year-old has made 41 appearances so far during this season, in which he has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists. "I would choose Virgil van Dijk as the best defender in Premier League history," Kopmany told Sporf . "It is a strange choice, because he is not in the scene as long as boys like Terry and Ferdinand. Those boys have played in the league for a very long time. "But the signals that Van Dijk gives in his last few seasons make it so clear that if he had gone to the absolute top before, he would be even further. "He makes a huge difference to his team. A defender never stands alone, it is about his communication with teammates and how you make your team stronger. "The Liverpool before Van Dijk was there and the Liverpool after Van Dijk was a completely different team. ‘That is why I choose him as the best defender from the Premier League ever.
