Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has said that the club are fully focused on achieving silverware this season.

Jurgen Klopp's team fell short of winning their first trophy since 2012 last term after losing 3-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Dutch centre-back Van Dijk insisted that he and his teammates are capable of going one step further this time round.

"With the players we have and we had already last season we can compete in every competition," the 27-year-old said. "Hopefully we are going to do something special this year. I don't like to look too far ahead - we just need to do the talking on the pitch and make sure we perform well.

"Everyone in the squad wants to win something. We know it is going to be a very hard season."

When asked about Liverpool's new arrivals this summer, Van Dijk added: "They are quality players and that suits a club like Liverpool. Hopefully, we will write our own history.

"[Alisson Becker] is a quality keeper - that is for sure. We will see how he is going to fit in but he looks like a very good goalkeeper. He conceded a couple of goals against us [in the Champions League] but it can happen against us!"

Liverpool open their Premier League campaign against West Ham United at Anfield.
