Uncertain Future: Liverpool Captain Virgil Van Dijk Opens Up About Contract Extension Talks

"I might as well fully investigate this and if still no updates, I'm not sure what I'll do," he said.

"But I don't want to create any anxiety or anything like that, I just keep my head down and focus on hopefully winning the next 10 games.

"I am sure by the end of the season there will be news. But what kind of news I am not sure."

He added: "It's not a one-two-three discussion and there we go. There are multiple factors and as long as I am calm to you guys (the media) then there is no need to panic, whatever may happen in the future.

"If I was worried you would see me playing a little bit worried and that is not the case. I am fully committed to Liverpool Football Club at the moment and there is no doubt about that."

Liverpool have a 15-point lead in the Premier League title race as they chase a record-equalling 20th English crown.
