Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has signed a new two-year contract with the club.
The 33-year-old centre-back’s previous contract had been set to expire at the end of the season.
But the Dutchman has joined forward Mohamed Salah, who signed a two-year extension last week, in committing his future to the club.
“It’s a proud feeling, it’s a feeling of joy. It’s just incredible,” said Van Dijk.
“The journey I’ve had so far in my career, to be able to extend it with another two years at this club is amazing and I’m so happy.”
The former Celtic and Southampton defender had been linked with a move to French club Paris St-Germain.
“It was always Liverpool,” said Van Dijk.
“That was the case. It was always in my head, it was always the plan and it was always Liverpool.
“There wasn’t any doubt in my head that this is the place to be for me and my family. I’m one of Liverpool. Someone called me the other day an adopted Scouser – I’m really proud to hear these things, it gives me a great feeling.
