'They look 28!' - Liverpool favourite believes Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah can 'easily' play for two more years but warns club must think about the future

Premier League

Liverpool

Tottenham

<p>Former favourite Vladimir Smicer insists it is great news that the pair, who "look 28", <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/best-in-the-world-liverpool-fans-celebrate-virgil-van-dijk-signs-new-deal/blt6283c604f3fbfe58" target="_blank">will remain at Anfield for two more years</a>, but has also stressed the need for the Reds to look to the future. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Smicer told <a href="https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/salah-e-van-dijk-ancora-col-liverpool-smicer-sembrano-28enni-che-lavoro-slot-2092603" target="_blank">Tuttomercatoweb</a>: "They are not very young but they show their consistency. Every time they play you can see that the team benefits from their presence on the pitch. And they are really consistent. The important thing is that they are physically intact. Salah looks like he is 28 years old. Liverpool obviously have to think about the future, but starting again by building the team around them I think is a great choice."</p>

WHAT SMICER SAID

<p>Keeping Van Dijk and Salah at the club allows Liverpool to retain some consistency heading into next season, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-confirmed-liverpool-star-reaches-agreement-in-principle-la-liga-giants-long-term-contract/blt108fcf31f0246072" target="_blank">Trent Alexander-Arnold considered likely to depart for Real Madrid</a>. Salah is the league's top scorer with 27 goals, while Van Dijk has been one of the stars of their imminent Premier League title win. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Liverpool could win the Premier League this weekend, if they win at Leicester and Arsenal lose to Ipswich. If not, they will have the chance to seal the deal the following weekend when they host Tottenham. </p>
