Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rodgers raves about Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk and picks him in his five-a-side dream team.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa<\/a> forward Morgan Rogers<\/a> has picked Liverpool<\/a> skipper Virgil van Dijk<\/a> as one of the players for his all-time Premier League five-a-side team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kyle Walker, Yaya Toure, Kevin De Bruyne and Cristiano Ronaldo are the other four players whom Rogers has selected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The inclusion of Van Dijk is hardly surprising, as the Dutchman is arguably seen as one of the finest defenders of the modern era.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Liverpool captain has been an epitome of excellence, and many consider him one of the greatest defenders in the Premier League of all time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rogers wowed by Van Dijk’s aura\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Liverpool<\/p>\n

At 34, Van Dijk has still been imperious like before, and he is almost flawless at the back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dutchman has played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s rich success under Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot, and his fitness has been remarkable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rogers has been left stunned by Van Dijk’s aura, saying he ‘scares’ people with his presence. The Villa attacker thinks that Van Dijk, like Walker, is best in one-vs-one situations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Kyle Walker, probably the best one-vs-one defender. I think it’s so hard to get past,” said Rogers to BBC Sport 5 Live<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The interviewer asks – “And Van Dijk? same thing?”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rogers responds: “Yeah, I think. Aura as well. Just being there. I think the feeling of him just probably scares people.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Could Liverpool move for Rogers?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Aston<\/p>\n

Liverpool did not make any concrete offer for Rodgers this summer, but he is someone they definitely like.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recent reports suggest that the Reds\u00a0will be watching his development<\/a> this season ahead of the next summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Rogers is capable of playing from the left of attack or as a number 10, and he could be a fantastic addition to the star-studded Liverpool side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Reds allowed Harvey Elliott<\/a> to move to Villa Park, and they can use the good relationship next summer to secure a deal for Rogers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
