Former Chelsea defender John Terry has tasked Virgil Van Dijk with adding longevity to his game if he wants to be regarded as one of the best defenders of all time once his playing days are over.
The Liverpool defender has been a revelation since he moved to Anfield for a then world-record fee for a defender back in January 2018, having helped Jurgen Klopp's men win six trophies, including the Premier League and Champions League, during the four-and-a-half-year period since.
And because of how easy the 31-year-old makes elite-level defending look, in recent years there have been continuous comparisons from fans and pundits likening Van Dijk to some of the Premier League greats such as Vincent Kompany, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Jaap Stam.
