This summer, several Premier League ogres have lost their captains. Chelsea with the departure of Cesar Azpilicueta (Atlético de Madrid), Manchester United who no longer consider Harry Maguire, and more recently Liverpool who saw James Milner and Jordan Henderson leave the ship. So the Reds must find the one who will wear the armband from the start of the next school year. Without a shadow of a doubt, Virgil Van Dijk seems to be the big favourite.
“It would be a huge honor. The captaincy hasn’t been announced yet, so I can’t say much about it. But of course, I’ve already captained the team several times over the past two years and it’s always a proud moment. We’ll see what the future holds, but it would be a huge honor to captain the team.“, declares the Dutch defender, on the sidelines of the pre-season with Liverpool. Leader of his nation and regular captain, Virgil Van Dijk should take the armband, left for free since the departure of Jordan Henderson at Al-Ettifaq, thus joining a former big boss in the person of Steven Gerrard.
