Van Dijk looks forward to more quality arriving at Liverpool before new season
Barcelona’s Ronald Araújo set to arrive on loan at Anfield
Captain made first pre-season appearance in Monaco loss
Virgil van Dijk is ready to welcome Ronald Araújo as his new centre-back partner at Liverpool with the deal to sign the Barcelona defender almost complete.
Van Dijk played almost an hour, his first pre-season appearance, as Liverpool were beaten 3-2 by Monaco at Anfield, having led 2-0. The Dutchman fouled Aleksandr Golovin to concede a penalty just before the break, which Golovin scored.
