Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says the team have ambitions but they are not looking too far ahead because they still face competition from a number of teams.

The Reds go into 2025 competing on four fronts and, most notably, top of the Premier League and Champions League tables.

“We want to be up there in May, but we have seen how difficult it is,” Van Dijk told BBC Radio Merseyside. “We focus on what is next ahead of us and that’s the only thing.

“I’m not getting dragged into talking about winning one, two, three or four trophies. It is all about each and every game ahead of us.

“We have only had one addition to the squad [since last season] and this group of players have been playing together for quite a long time. The experience and quality is there and I see it every day.

“There were question marks after Jurgen [Klopp] was replaced by Arne Slot but I had so much trust in my team.

“We are competing at the top of the Premier League so we have to stay consistent.”
