Virgil van Dijk has been confirmed as Liverpool’s new captain.
The Netherlands international takes on the role from Jordan Henderson, whose eight-year stint as skipper ended when he completed a £12m move to Saudi Pro League club Al Ettifaq last week.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been selected as the new vice-captain with that role vacant since James Milner left at the end of last season and subsequently joined Brighton on a free transfer.
The decisions were taken by manager Jurgen Klopp rather than a vote of the playing squad.
Your new Reds captain… @VirgilvDijk 🙌...
good decision!
