Thanks for joining us on this short but very sweet live page as we brought you the latest reaction to Virgil van Dijk signing a new two-year contract with Liverpool. The live page may have come to a close but feel free to stick around and recap all of the best bits.

It was always Liverpool. For all the speculation over his future, and as the Saudi Pro League loitered with intent, Virgil van Dijk never had any thought other than to extend his Anfield stay. And it isn't just wistful sentiment that prompted the Reds skipper to put pen to paper on a new two-year contract that ties him to the club until 2027.
