The player shared the Ghanaian duo's song Excellent on social media. This comes after Liverpool's huge win against Tottenham Hotspur knocked them out of the ongoing Carabao Cup tournament.
Van Dijk who captained the Reds to victory scored the fourth goal to cement Liverpool's next step in the tournament.
He posted an excited photo of him on Instagram with Kojo Blak and Kelvynboy's trading Afrobeats track Excellent with the caption, "Wembley, we are coming."
Excellent released last month has dominated radio and TV playlists. Its infectious dance moves originated by Dancegod LLoyd continue to fuel the song's online strides.
Recently, the duo performed their collaboration on Glitch Africa expanding its reach across the continent.
The song's significant strides stem from an impressive viral campaign kickstarted by Ghanaian choreographer Dancegod Lloyd.
He shared an infectious dance routine to the song garnering over two million hits on TikTok alone.
Speaking to entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh about Kojo Black's latest milestone from Virgil van Dijk, he told YEN.com.gh that
"Kojo Blak has been winning the Afrobeats conversation for close to a year now. Almost all the top three Afrobeats songs we've had since last year, had a sprinkle of Kojo Blak on it. Previously he's done it with Rugged, went on to Lomo Lomo, whuch he co-wrote and now Excellent. I don't see why he's not opening some of the concerts our big acts have in the UK and Europe. From Virgil's standpoint, you can see that the hunger for the song in thise parts is there. With a few activities on-ground in thise markets, It'll be amazing to see where the youngster reaches."
