During a quickfire round of questions with the PFA on TikTok, Leicester’s Patson Daka didn’t hesitate when asked about the toughest defender he’s ever faced. The Zambian striker named Virgil van Dijk as his most challenging opponent, citing the Dutchman’s combination of strength and intelligence as nearly impossible to overcome. Daka expressed admiration for Van Dijk’s physical and mental prowess, acknowledging the Liverpool star as a formidable force on the pitch. With such attributes, it’s no wonder that Daka, along with many other strikers, find themselves at a disadvantage when pitted against Van Dijk. As Daka looks ahead to another season in the Premier League with Leicester City, he may not be too thrilled about the prospect of facing off against Van Dijk once again. The Liverpool star’s reputation as one of the best center-backs of his generation makes him a daunting opponent for any striker.
