Former Tottenham head coach Harry Redknapp has named Liverpool's Dutch footballer Virgil van Dijk as the best defender to ever play in the English Premier League.

There has been a lot of talk about what place Virgil van Dijk can take in the ranking of the best players of all time. I don't know myself, but there was hardly anyone better than him in England," journalist Dave Ockop quoted Redknapp as saying on his website.
