WATCH Virgil Van Dijk show off his incredible jumping ability and spark comparisons to Michael Jordan.
The Liverpool defender, 28, was filmed demonstrating his outrageous vertical leap in Holland training this week.
Van Dijk can be seen taking a short run-up before managing to get his head on a ball dangling just below the high ceiling.
Dutch star Quincy Promes shared the footage, comparing the Reds stalwart to NBA superstar MJ.
Promes captioned the snap, “Only Michael Jordan and @virgilvandijk can jump like this”, complete with three flame emojis.
The short video left fans on social media absolutely staggered.
EFFORTLESS
One supporter wrote: “He hardly took a run up.”
Another claimed: “Effortless.”
A third added: “Dude I seriously wish he was English and played for England.”
Van Dijk has been in sensational form since joining Liverpool in a £75million deal from Southampton in January 2018.
