Cody Gakpo says Liverpool have a player who’s actually stronger than Virgil van Dijk

This current Liverpool squad is packed full of extremely strong players.

Indeed, while Arne Slot’s side are technically brilliant, they have enough physicality about them to dominate any team.

Ryan Gravenberch has been compared to Patrick Vieira this season due to his command in the midfield, while Darwin Nunez is one of the stronger strikers in the Premier League.

Indeed, time and time again, we hear that Van Dijk is incredibly strong. However, speaking on Liverpool’s social media, Cody Gakpo has named another Reds defender as the strongest player at the club.
