"Obviously there has been a lot of money paid for it [the transfer] but I cannot do anything about the money, the price. Nobody can. That's just the market. "The only thing I can do is just work hard and do the good things and be 100% every day. That is what I definitely want to do."The interview also featured shots of the 26-year-old in his fresh Liverpool gear and his jersey number has been revealed - No. 4.
Asked about that jersey number choice, he said:
"I had number 4 when I played for Groningen, back in Holland. I was always a big fan of the number but unfortunately at Southampton my good friend Jordy Clasie had 4. Obviously, I didn't want to take it from him. "Sami Hyypia had 4 when he played here [at Liverpool] and he played 10 years for my team in Holland, Willem II."https://youtu.be/E9RQWUOpcGI Hyypia was a fan favourite and van Dijk will follow suit if he can settle into that Reds defence sharpish.
