Virgil van Dijk: Liverpool can end trophy drought this season
Spain's Marco Asensio revealed he will only talk about his club future after the World Cup and that he is fully focused on doing his best for the national side. Gab Marcotti and the ESPN FC crew discuss how far along Liverpool are in their contract negotiations with Roma's Alisson. ESPN's Liverpool correspondent Glenn Price discusses why Nabil Fekir would be the player to finally replace Philippe Coutinho.
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is confident the team can step up another level in the upcoming campaign as the Premier League side looks to end their trophy drought after coming close in recent seasons.
The Merseyside outfit's most recent triumph was a League Cup win in 2012 and despite showing improvement under Jurgen Klopp, the German manager has seen them lose three finals since he joined the club in 2015.
"We're going to work our socks off and do everything possible to make it happen this season. We were very close to silverware but obviously not close enough," Netherlands international Van Dijk told Liverpool's official website.
"I can improve in any aspect of the game. At the moment, it's getting back to full fitness, making sure I'm getting better and stronger than I was before. I will work every day and do everything possible and no doubt it will happen."
The 27-year-old made 22 appearances for Liverpool after he joined them in January, helping the club finish fourth in the league and reach the Champions League final, which they lost 3-1 to Real Madrid in May.
Van Dijk missed Liverpool's first preseason friendly on Saturday, when Klopp's men recorded a crushing 7-0 win over non-league Chester, but is expected to take part in several fixtures leading up to next month's Premier League kick-off.
