William Gallas has named Virgil van Dijk as the best central defender in the Premier League and believes the Liverpool defender will reach his 'best level' this upcoming season. Van Dijk returned from an ACL in the summer of 2021.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea defender thinks winning the Community Shield has 'laid down a marker' for Liverpool after they beat title rivals Manchester City 3-1 last Saturday. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez all got on the scoresheet in Leicester.
As the new season is set to start this weekend, Gallas believes Liverpool are ready to go as they take on newly-promoted Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
