Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has revealed that he rates Roberto Firmino as the best player that he has featured alongside during his career.

As well as the Merseyside giants, Van Dijk has also spent time at Groningen, Celtic and Southampton during an eight-year professional stint in the sport.

However, the Netherlands international has claimed that one of his current teammates - Brazilian forward Firmino - is the most talented player.

When quizzed on the subject, the 28-year-old told talkSPORT: "I'm going to be a little bit biased and say one of my teammates; I would say Roberto Firmino."

Firmino has spent two-and-a-half years longer at Anfield than Van Dijk, contributing 49 goals from 139 outings in the Premier League.
