The Englishman told Kick Game: “I’m a Liverpool fan. [Virgil] 

 is one of the best. He’s up there as one of the best.”

It appears that Toney is also a great admirer of Van Dijk, after being troubled by him on quite a few occasions in the Premier League clashes in the last few seasons.

Toney had an impressive campaign with Brentford in the 2022/23 season, scoring 20 goals in 33 

However, he remains banned from competitive football until January due to breaching of betting laws in the UK.

'Sometimes criticism was justified': Van Dijk reflects on his and Liverpool's season

"Sometimes the criticism was justified, not always, but I am very happy that I managed to stay mentally upright," 

"Last season, there were a number of factors that added up to making things more difficult. The World Cup in Qatar, for example, in the middle of the season. We had to deal with injuries, with form that just wasn’t there in many matches.

"As a result, you start playing inconsistently and that is frustrating. We won 7-0 against 

, then you think you are over it, but a few days later we lost 1-0 at 

 failed to win any cups and finished fifth in the Premier League, qualifying for the Europa League next season.

Van Dijk's defending was consistently criticised by pundits both in England and his native Netherlands, with many claiming that he's declined after his ACL injury sustained back in 2020.

'The noises I'm hearing': Van Dijk explains why he's 'excited' for next season

 said to the Liverpool Echo as he discussed a new chapter for 

"I think that feeling came a couple of months ago when we turned the page. Obviously, there's still a lot to work on but the good thing in this case is that we have the whole pre-season to work on this and that's definitely the plan.

"The noises I'm hearing, it's going to be a very intense pre-season with a lot of physical work but also a lot of tactical work trying to get ready for a tough season. That's very exciting. Players are leaving, hopefully players come in and will be ready for the start of pre-season.

"I think everyone that can come in and improve all of us, that will help the football club and push us all. It's always good. That will be the focus next season, to make sure that everyone's ready to contribute, it doesn't matter how old you are, you have to perform and do it together.

"Will no Champions League make it harder to recruit? No. Pre-season will be massive. Everybody knows we've been going through a little bit of a transition and, if I'm a player on the rise and I have options to go to the next step and Liverpool is knocking on my door, then I would be very, very interested. I don't think it's going to change much but, if someone wants to play in the Champions League no matter what, then that's their ambition.

"Obviously, the chances to reach Champions League football were quite slim but now it makes it more difficult. That's the situation. You play against a good side, they have been playing - especially since Unai Emery came in - a very good season. So we knew it was going to be tough but a frustrating afternoon."

It looks like Liverpool are set to play in the Europa League this season, as both Newcastle and Man United need only one point each in the remaining two Premier League games to secure places in the top four.

Despite that, Liverpool already appear to be closing in on a top player in Alexis Mac Allister - which should not be the end of the Reds' transfer campaign this summer.
