Jurgen Klopp insists it doesn't matter that he paid a world record fee for a defender to sign Virgil van Dijk (in pic) because the Dutch star is good enough to prove value for money. Klopp splashed out a reported $100 million to bring Van Dijk to Anfield from Southampton on Wednesday. Opinion is divided over whether the Liverpool manager was right to pay such a huge sum for a player that Premier League leaders Manchester City wanted before they balked at the asking price.

Klopp told Sky Sports: "Quality. That's why we got him, that's why we were interested in him. It's quite difficult at the moment because technically he's still a Southampton player. We don't make the prices, the market does. Liverpool supporters should forget about the price."
