'He is the best in the world right now': Villareal's Pau Torres pays tribute to Van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk is no stranger to praise, and the latest person to compliment Liverpool's big man is Villareal's Pau Torres.

"He is the best centre-back in the world right now," said the Spain international, per the Mail Online.

"Because of his physical condition, it doesn't matter if the opponent is fast, he can still leave him space to run and know that he is going to get there.

"You have to watch the best and see how they deal with certain defensive situations.

"It's interesting to see he handles being outnumbered, because they're a team that play with a lot of people high up the pitch and he has a lot of metres behind him.

"Seeing how he positions himself against those counter-attacks is a real education."

Van Dijk's return from injury has seen him take some time to recover but the big Dutchman enjoyed arguably his best game of the season against Arsenal.
