Several Liverpool fans are currently calling for the captain’s armband to be taken away from Jordan Henderson and handed to Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutch defender moved to Anfield in the January transfer window when many people were questioning the club’s decision to splash so much cash on just a centre-back.
Over the past six to seven months though, Van Dijk has really proven why the Reds were willing to spend a record amount of money on his services in the winter.
In the mean time, Jordan Henderson’s form in midfield has not always been reliable, prompting the signings of players like Keita and Fabinho from Jurgen Klopp.
Van Dijk has not even reached a year just yet as a Liverpool player but the fact that his form has been so inspiring has seen many fans change their minds over who really deserves to be wearing the captain’s armband in the near future.
Van Dijk should be our captain! Leader material

I like Henderson (one of the few that does it seems) but yesterday the armband changed hands twice, and in the end it landed on Van Dijk. He's the player who will play most out of them 3 and is an obvious leader, would be logical just to make him captain
