Van Dijk scares strikers – Arsenal defender, Saliba

Arsenal defender William Saliba is full of praise for Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk.

Saliba says the Dutchman sets the standard for centre-halves.

Speaking from the France camp, he said: “Van Dijk has aura.

“He’s the boss. He commands everything. You can feel he’s scaring strikers away. And I’m starting to feel the same way.”

Saliba also stated: “I need to continue to work to go even higher. In terms of concentration, I am a lot better. Before, I could play a top match but in one phase of play, I slept a bit. That is no longer the case. I am always on alert.”
