The Liverpool captain believes Virgil van Dijk's $ 100m midfielder is not enough to bring the club's hopes of championship.
In early January, Liverpool paid a record fee of $ 100m - Virgil Van Dijk from central Southampton. The goal of this deal is to overcome the inherent weaknesses in the defense.
Hamann welcomed the new deal, but also wanted Liverpool to buy another defensive midfielder. "Defending has been a major concern for Liverpool over the years," former German midfielder commentator on Sky Sports . "I think Van Dijk will help the team improve and he has the speed and the strength, but the team is still lacking in quality. To become a champion candidate . "
During the match, Dietmar Hamann also played in the midfield to recover the ball. The former German side have made 283 appearances for Liverpool, and have won the UEFA Champions League with the Merseyside side.
At the moment, alongside captain Jordan Henderson, Liverpool have only one other German midfielder with Hamann, Emre Can. But he has only six months left at Anfield, being linked to Juventus.
However, Hamann did not see 24-year-old midfielder enough to stay at Anfield. Liverpool are not too concerned about contract extension with Emre Can.
" I want to see him stay in Liverpool next season, but if the team let him go and find a suitable landing, then that's a good thing, maybe you consider it a loss of the club, but if As for me, I will not renew with a player who plays round the shoulders, because to play for Liverpool, the shoulder is not enough, "explained Hamann.
