Liverpool have three of their top players out of contract in the summer, so who would be a good fit to replace them if they leave?

While Liverpool fans hope Virgil van Dijk remains beyond the summer, at 33, the club needs to start thinking about a long-term successor for the Dutchman. Murphy has suggested a current Premier League captain.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk dismisses any fears the Anfield side have suffered a blip in their Premier League title bid.

Three of the most important players in Liverpool's Premier League and Champions League victories several years ago may not be at Anfield next season.

The Reds have reportedly opened talks with the man they believe could replace Trent Alexander-Arnold. Alexander-Arnold, who is the current vice-captain at Anfield, is one of the three stars – alongside Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah – out of contract at Liverpool this summer.
