Following James Milner’s departure earlier this summer, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named vice-captain.
“[It’s] a really proud day for me, for my wife, for my kids, and for my family,” Van Dijk told Liverpool’s club media. I’ve had a unique feeling that I currently find difficult to articulate. But it’s something of which I’m incredibly, incredibly proud.
“I’m the captain of Holland, which is obviously a tremendous honor and a great occasion in itself. At this moment, however, I’m at a loss for words when it comes to becoming the captain of Liverpool Football Club.
“It’s just something that makes me really proud, and I’ll do everything I can to bring joy and pride to everyone around me and the football club,” he said.
