“Since I joined the club, he has been a fantastic player and there’s a lot of good things that he will always be remembered for if he decides to leave,” said Van Dijk.

“Whatever may happen in the future for him, that’s something he has to resolve with himself and the family.

“But he’s a Liverpool player at this point and he’s important for our team.”

Second-half substitute Alexander-Arnold scored the only goal as Liverpool moved closer to a 20th league title with a 1-0 win against Leicester City on Sunday.

The defender celebrated wildly, removing his shirt in front of the away fans.

The meaning of Alexander-Arnold’s celebration has been debated but Van Dijk says the Liverpool squad have had no inclination about the England player’s future.

“At this point, we don’t know as a group what’s going to happen,” added Van Dijk.

“He is already under a lot of pressure so there is no point for me to put him on the spot whatsoever.”
