00:00I'm assuming then you know more than others as to where Virgil van Dijk's contract is at at the moment.
00:04So how close are you to announcing a new deal for Virgil?
00:07And I suppose how does his position regarding his future contrast with that with Trent Hallett under Arnold at the moment?
00:15I think you know the answer.
00:18The boring answer, as always.
00:21We talk about contracts if they are signed.
00:23So in the situation with Mo, we are talking about it.
00:25As long as they're not signed, we don't talk about it.
00:27But I can tell you that I'm very happy with Virgil this season.
00:32He's been incredible for us.
00:34Even the last few games where maybe there were moments where he could do better.
00:40But if you look at the other 89 minutes, he's such an important player for us.
00:46So yeah, let's hope he can do the same what I just hoped for with Mo.
00:51He can do the same on Sunday as well, being our leader again, as he's always been this season against West Ham.
00:58You did drop that hint last week, though, that it's getting close.
01:02I don't read all the things that are told in the media.
