Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have committed their futures to Liverpool, but how did the club convince them to stay? And will that persuade Trent Alexander-Arnold to snub Real Madrid?

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.

Loads of reaction coming in on Virgil van Dijk signing his new deal so thank you very much and keep it coming! Plenty of shouts for him being the greatest defender the Reds have ever seen. However, is he still the best in the Premier League right now? You can have your say by voting on the poll at the top of this page.
