Sepp van den Berg has made just four senior appearances for Liverpool but he is thriving on loan with FSV Mainz in the Bundesliga
On-loan Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg is charting among some of the best central defenders in the top five leagues in Europe, according to a report.
Van den Berg has made just four appearances for the Reds as he has spent his formative years away from Anfield. The Dutchman has enjoyed loan spells in the English Championship with Preston North End, as well as two stints in Germany with Schalke 04 and now with FSV Mainz. Mainz boss Bo Henriksen has already hailed the defender this season and has set out his stall that Van den Berg will improve. He said: “He is a leader and the boss in the middle. He’s getting better and better."
Upon his return to Merseyside in the summer, he will have two years remaining on his contract at Anfield. With Joel Matip's long-term knee injury and recurring problems for Ibrahima Konate, there has been chances to deputise alongside Van Dijk in the Liverpool back four, which has seen Jarell Quansah come to the fore.
