LIVERPOOL fans have got their creative juices flowing again and have come up with a brilliant new chant for defender Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool fans sing BRILLIANT football chant about Virgil Van Dijk
Van Dijk captained Liverpool once again on Saturday as the Reds thrashed Cardiff 4-1 to continue their unbeaten start to the season.
The Dutchman is widely regarded as one of the best central defenders in the Premier League after sealing his switch from Southampton earlier this year.
Van Dijk has helped Liverpool keep five clean sheets so far this term, conceding just four goals in 10 games.
And to honour the star defender, Liverpool fans have created a new chant.
Fans were filmed belting out their new song in a pub following the victory over Cardiff.
The rowdy supporters sang the chant to the tune of Dirty Old Town by The Dubliners.
The lyrics are: “He’s our centre-half, he’s our number 4.
“Watch him defend and we watch him score.
“He can pass the ball, calm as you like.
“He’s Virgil Van Dijk, he’s Virgil Van Dijk.”
The brilliant clip has been shared on social media and fans were quick to express their delight at the new song.
“Going to have this on repeat all day!” one fan wrote.
Another said: “This bangs!!!!! I love this club.”
“I really really hope this catches on. The Big Virg deserves it,” a third supporter said.
A fourth fan wrote: “That’s an unreal chant.”
