Ragnar Klavan believes he will benefit from Virgil van Dijk's big money move to Liverpool.

The Estonian centre-back, who grabbed a last-gasp winner at Burnley on New Year's Day, insists the extra competition for places following the arrival of the £75million Dutchman doesn't worry him.

“He is a good addition to our team," Klavan said.

"It is like it is for everyone: there is competition and competition is good for all places.

"You want to play with as many good players as possible as that’s how you improve yourself."

The 32-year-old played down the significance of his contribution after turning home Dejan Lovren's header from close range in stoppage time to spark wild celebrations at Turf Moor.

“I wouldn't say it was my best moment at Liverpool," he said.

"Those were three really important points but I'm not really one who wants to shine in the light.

"It was just a good moment for me and for the team to get the three points, which is what we came here for. That's it for me.

"We kept on fighting and it's a great way to start the year. It was important to show we could still win without the likes of Mo (Salah) and Phil (Coutinho)."

Klavan, whose recent form has been excellent, is hoping to be retained for Friday night's FA Cup tie with Everton at Anfield.

Liverpool have a score to settle after failing to make their dominance count in last month's Premier League showdown with the Blues, who rescued a point courtesy of Wayne Rooney's late penalty.

"It is always a special game," Klavan said.

“We were a bit unlucky with everything which happened around the game but we'll just keep on going. When we are at our best there is a great chance we will succeed."
