According to Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister is just the kind of player Liverpool needs to get back to the top.
Last Monday, Liverpool completed a £35 million agreement with Brighton to acquire the Argentina midfielder.
The Reds are looking to improve off a poor Premier League campaign in which they ended fifth despite a strong finish to the season, missing out on the top four.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's Nations League semi-final match between the Netherlands and Croatia in Rotterdam, Van Dijk believes the acquisition of Mac Allister is the perfect way to open the transfer window.
He is an excellent player, according to Van Dijk.
Naturally, we have faced off against him on numerous occasions (with Liverpool) as well as with the Netherlands against Argentina.He will undoubtedly be a significant asset, and we need him to get things back to where we all want them to be.So the transfer window is off to a good start. He is undoubtedly one of the players who may possibly make a difference for us in the upcoming years. Let's hope we add a few more quality players.
Mac Allister represented Brighton in 35 Premier League games last year.
In an astonishing sixth-place finish, only one spot behind Liverpool, the 24-year-old scored 10 goals to help Brighton qualify for the Europa League.
The Wirral native advanced to the under-18s and played regularly for Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's team last season, but a decision was taken to split ways with him.
Hayes-Green has since found a new team and signed his first professional contract, a 12-month initial term, with League One club Bolton.
When his contract with Liverpool expires on July 1, he will formally go to Bolton and join their B Team, also known as the under-21s.
With a one-year contract extension option held by Bolton, Hayes-Green will be looking to exercise it with his performance in the upcoming season.
