Liverpool signing Sepp van den Berg says he can learn a lot from Virgil van Dijk.

The 17-year-old centre-back completed a move to Anfield from PEC Zwolle on Thursday.

And the Dutchman is looking forward to absorbing plenty of advice from his compatriot.

Asked if playing with his countrymen was a factor in joining the Reds, van den Berg said: "Not really, but I was thinking about [the idea of] training with Virgil. For me he is the best defender in the world right now, so I can learn a lot from him.

And when quizzed what kind of things did he want to learn from Virgil, he replied: "Everything!"
