Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has suggested that Tottenham defender Mickey van de Ven could be a potential replacement for Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool fans are concerned about the future of their captain, whose contract expires at the end of the season, and Fowler suggests the club must try to tie Van Dijk down to a new deal, but also suggested Van de Ven could be a good หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ option as a replacement.
“When it comes to Virgil van Dijk’s replacement, I’m a big fan of both Dean Huysen at Bournemouth and Mickey van de Ven at Tottenham,” Fowler said. “When it comes down to it, we’re talking about players who are not as good as Van Dijk. He’s been brilliant in the Premier League and should be trying to keep him at the club.”
“As a fan you want your club to develop and sign top players but first of all you have to keep the best players at the club. He’s a great player, like Royce, who I think sometimes the game is a little too easy for him. He’s a great player and a great leader. We’re at a point where we have to make sure he stays.”
“There are many good players but none as good as him. If he goes, it’s better to find someone who knows the Premier League, who knows the speed and intensity of the game. But replacing Van Dijk is a gamble. I’m the type of fan who thinks if you don’t sign good players, you’re outdated and you’re going backwards.”
“If you don’t do that and develop the team, you might be stuck in a rut. When it comes to Mickey van de Ven, he’s a very good player, despite his injury problems. I think he’s strong, quick and looks good in a Liverpool shirt. I know Tottenham fans don’t want that but I think the league leaders should consider him.”
