Latest Liverpool news: Van Dijk named as cover athlete for FIFA 20’s Champions Edition
Virgil van Dijk landed another honour after an excellent season for Liverpool. The centre-back was named as the cover athlete of FIFA 20’s Champions Edition.
The Dutch defender led Liverpool to the Champions League title and we narrowly missed out on winning the Premier League too.
The 28-year-old is one of the best in the world and has made our defence the tightest in England.
The Dutchman barely made a mistake last season and should help us win more silverware in the coming seasons.
Van Dijk is a leader on the pitch too and he should grow further in the coming years under Jurgen Klopp.
The Dutch defender also scored some important goals, and it will be interesting to see how many goals he scores next season.
Liverpool have already tied up with EA Sports regarding the FIFA games after their previous partnership with Pro Evolution Soccer.
Liverpool fans react to Van Dijk on the cover of FIFA
Eden Hazard was also named as the cover athlete for the standard edition of FIFA, and it is great to see a Liverpool star on the cover of possibly the biggest sports game in the world.
Lionel Messi, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Cristiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry are some of the others who have graced the cover of the game in recent years.
Many fans could not hide their excitement after the announcement, and here are some of the reactions from Twitter.
