This guy is no less than 194 cm. Same height as Ibra. He is a good 3 cm taller than Klopp who is no less than 191 cm. Rob when you list him at 6'4.25" do you mean he would still measure 194 cm during the day?

Editor RobI think he could hold just over 6ft 4 most of the day.

Easily a strong 6'4 no questions asked, seen him a few times whilst he was at Southampton and as a legit 6'0.5 person he towered me like a 6'4 person couldn't, surprisingly broad build compared to on TV. I'd say there's a chance of 195cm in early afternoon.
The claims of 6'3 is ridiculous, go stand next to him and tell me he's under 6'4.

194 cm is fine for him . never looked even 2 cm shorter than 195 cm Matip from what i've seen , also he towered over Henderson who in turn towered over 179/180 cm Trent , towered over 190-191 cm Alisson by 3-4 cm as well , towered over Gomez and Lovren , maybe even looked a bit taller ( 2 cm ) than 192 cm Klopp as well if i remember correctly

This average height is crazy,he is 191 cm at max. Look at the difference between him and Ronaldo (185 cm),he is not 9/10 cms taller than Cristiano,c'mon Rob !

Looks very tall you can tell by his proportions, he seems about 6’4.5” I would say, sometimes looks 6’5” over times 6’4”.

@Ajax509: lol he would be. Wonder how Ibra would stack up. He may edge me by a hair a full 194 as I’m only about 6’4.25”. Pique I have at 6’3.75”. He looked much shorter than Kobe in the pic too but with less footwear. I see around 2cm with Ibra and Pique.

@Canson van Dijk could be your height twin 📏 I can remember a 194cm listing from EA Sports. Did FC Groningen bill him at that height? Unfortunately no source - I already checked web.archive.org 😅
My vote 6ft 4 1/2, taller than Piqué.

And except for Tacko Fall, van Dijk also stood at Grant Williams who stands at 6'7'' (2.01 m) tall. And van Dijk is slightly taller than him.

There's an image circulating from Liverpool's pre season US tour of Virgil with WWE wrestler Sheamus, who is listed at 6'2" 1/4 on this site. Virgil absolutely towers him.

Definitely the definition of the modern CB, Tall, Strong, Good with his feet, can pass and also an amazing Defensive anchor! The whole Liverpool Backline has improved so much with him in the lineup, with that being said VVD looks minimum 6 ft 4 1/4 and has a shout for the high 6 ft 4 range but with his age and monster growth spurt, he unfortunately won’t be in the 6 ft 5 range any time soon

Editor RobYeah it's a fair amount over 16-17 years of age, 18cm is 7 inches or thereabouts.
So he must have been quite average around that 16 age, then by 17 was near his full height?

@Christian @Canson
He never looked under 6'4 , even in the pic above with Mané . This just over 6'4 listing suits him very well , he towers over the vast majority of football players . I wouldn't be surprise if he was as tall as Ibra for example . He for sure is taller than a guy like Mamoa or Conan , probably similar to Canson

@Canson
Yeah, a 193 listing here should be good enough for him given that he's been listed and described that as a player. I doubt he grew, although it's not impossible of course.

@Christian: he may be similar to Conan or even Momoa. I don’t get the 6’4,25 listing when he’s been described as 6’4”. The latter is even better than current based on how he looks which is strong 6’3 up to weak 6’4

Maybe a weak 6'5 (195cm)? He stacks up well against Fraser Forster who is listed as 6'7?

Looks more 6'3"-6'3.5" in the above pic with 5'8" listed Sadio Mane, especially when you consider that Sadio has slightly less footwear.

He can comfortably look 6'4.5, or even more than that at times, wouldn't go lower than 6'4 1/4.

Editor RobI think at 19 he was still listed 193 but I would still say in his 20's he has seemed a more stronger 6ft 4 guy, at times seeming 6ft 4.5 in fact.

A professional footballer of whom I have never heard? That's most unusual!
He's a very tall one, there's no denying that, and Virgil can have 6ft4.25 from me.
⭐️ I remember a song by Genesis entitled 'Me and Virgil', just in case you are interested! I believe it was sung by Phil Collins.
