‘He has everything’: Evan Ferguson says Liverpool have a player who’s almost impossible to play against

Evan Ferguson is one of the brightest young strikers in the Premier League.

The 19-year-old Irishman has been tipped to do massive things within the game, and while he’s had a tough time as of late, he’s already had some absolutely brilliant moments in the Premier League.

Ferguson has netted big goals against big teams over the past 18 months for Brighton, and it truly does seem as though he plays without fear.

However, according to Ferguson, there is a defender in the Premier League who he feels he really struggles against.

The defender Evan Ferguson struggles against

Speaking to ESPN on TikTok, Ferguson has named Virgil van Dijk as the toughest opponent yet.

“Toughest defender you have faced so far?” Ferguson was asked.

“Van Dijk. He just, he has everything, he’s big, he’s quick, he’s strong, he’s smart. He’s got everything he does,” Ferguson said.

Virgil van Dijk can stop anyone

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard something like this, and it certainly won’t be the last.

Ferguson is exactly the type of striker who is likely to struggle against Van Dijk.

Usually, Ferguson knows he’s got the beating of a defender because he can either out-muscle them or out-pace them, but against Van Dijk, he can’t do either.

Van Dijk is quicker, stronger and smarter than pretty much any striker in the Premier League, and on his day, he is truly impossible to play against.

If Liverpool do end up winning the Premier League this season they will have a lot to thank the Dutchman for, he’s arguably been their best player, and he’s stepped up time and time again in the big moments.

Van Dijk may well be the best defender the Premier League has
