Virgil van Dijk is convinced Liverpool have all the attributes to conquer the Premier League for years to come.

The Dutchman, who has established himself as a key member of Jurgen Klopp's Reds following his move from Southampton in January 2018, also revealed he would like to be remembered as a club legend as he is keen 'to achieve incredible things at Anfield'.

When asked how he wants to be remembered, the Netherlands international Van Dijk told Spanish media outlet Sport: "As a Liverpool legend. I want to achieve incredible things here.
 

"We have a fantastic team, we don't lack anything, we have all the tools necessary to go on winning: A coach that we identify with, a versatile squad, a style of play that breeds victories, a stadium and supporters that play their part.
 

"I would like to be one of those players that return to Anfield after retiring. I see club legends at games and I feel part of a really big family."
