People Said It Was Crazy To Pay 70 Million For A Centre Back Mauricio Pochettino Believes Liverpool Were Right To Spend Big On Virgil Van Dijk

Van Dijk left Southampton to join the Reds on January 2018 in a £70 million transfer that made him the most expensive defender ever.

Since then, the Dutchman has helped Liverpool to a record 17 clean sheets, having conceded only 18 goals in the entire season so far.

The 26-year-old has recently insisted that a title-winning campaign is exactly what he was looking for when he left the Saints.

Pochettino believes Van Dijk has more than justified his hefty price tag at Anfield, admitting that Liverpool was right to spend.

Speaking to reporters, (via Goal), he said,

Liverpool will hope to win a crucial three points when they face Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow night.
