Konate regards Van Dijk as the best centre-back in the world.
The Frenchman joined Liverpool last summer window and has massively impressed in his debut season for the Reds.
He could easily become one of the best centre-backs in the world in just one or two years.
Konate explains how Van Dijk has helped him since his arrival at Anfield.
“Van Dijk is the best centre-back in the world and he gives me a lot of advice,” Konate said.
“Not just Van Dijk, but rather all of the players like (Joe) Gomez and (Joel) Matip. These are experienced players who have helped me. Every Liverpool player has helped me, in every position like Sadio Mane and Fabinho.
“It’s only the start and I hope to learn a lot of things and progress. In terms of my qualities, I think I’m fast, and that I am intelligent in spite of my physical qualities. Finally, I’m not afraid to have the ball at my feet.
“We also played a very high line at Leipzig. I’ve learnt a lot of things at Liverpool. Just by looking at Van Dijk’s game, I saw that he ran less than me during games and I couldn’t understand why. I need to improve my positioning.”
