Virgil van Dijk after Palace game: ‘I think there’s always room for an attacker’

Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield final after a 2-2 draw and a 3-2 defeat on penalties.

Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong scored for Liverpool, but Palace held on and won the shootout. After the match, Virgil van Dijk said Liverpool need more attackers to improve their chances in future games.

Van Dijk said: “Well, we just lost Darwin, He went to Saudi and we lost Lucho [Luis Diaz], obviously he went to Bayern.”

“I think there’s always room for an attacker in order to strengthen us so let’s see what the window brings in terms of the balance of the team.”
