Brentford striker Ivan Toney has labelled a Liverpool player as 'too nice' whilst including him in his dream five-a-side team.
The Bees forward, who was recently included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad, was picking his five-a-side team out of Premier League players past and present. In his side, Toney included Reds centre-back Virgil van Dijk.
Van Dijk has been a key player for Liverpool since his move from Southampton in 2018. Toney has in the past spoken about the talent that the Dutchman possesses, and he has now included the Reds defender in his five-a-side team.

“I’ll get Van Dijk in there, definitely,” said Toney, speaking to InchByInch .
When asked if Van Dijk was a player he feared, Toney replied: “Nah, I don’t think, he’s too nice.
“There’s scarier defenders out there, they look scarier as well.
“He doesn’t look scary, he’s too nice!”
Van Dijk was the only Liverpool player, past or present, to get in Toney’s five-a-side team. The rest of the side was made up by former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, current City duo Ederson and Kevin De Bruyne and his Brentford team-mate, Frank Onyeka.
