Virgil van Dijk makes Erling Haaland admission and compares him with Premier League star

  Virgil van Dijk has compared Erling Haaland's playing style with Leicester City star Jamie Vardy. Van Dijk faced Haaland last month while on international duty. Norway faced the Netherlands for the World Cup Qualifiers and the teams played a 1-1 draw. “Haaland is a special striker, he’s strong, he’s quick. He’s got all the attributes to make a defender’s life very, very difficult. The first time was when he was at Salzburg he scored at Anfield. He was very quick, direct," Van Dijk told Sky Sports. “A bit like how Jamie Vardy plays, but Haaland is a bit stronger than Vardy."
