Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is learning from teammates Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
The Frenchman enjoyed a successful debut season after joining from RB Leipzig, and says he enjoyed improving with his experienced teammates.
When asked about playing alongside van Dijk, Konate told the club's website: "For sure I improved a lot with him. I improved with him because I learn about him, I look how he plays.
"But not only him, I learn with also Matip and Joe because we play in the same position. Everybody knows Virg is the best defender in the world and I look a lot at how he plays, how he thinks, before the game he knows a lot of players.
"I take inspiration from him and a lot of players in the world, but with him I have the chance to play with him and to train with him. I think it's just the start and I hope year after year I will learn, learn, learn again.
"I hope one day I will be like him or better one day. I hope!"
