#1 Virgil van Dijk
The Dutch captain, Virgil van Dijk, is among the best central defenders in the world right now as he completely transformed Liverpool's troublesome defence into one of the league's best since his move from Southampton in the January transfer window of 2018.

Liverpool have conceded just 5 goals in the Premier League, which is the second best defensive record in the English top-tier this season. He adds composure to the back-line, and also brings the team together with his leadership qualities.
The Dutchman has completed 969 passes this season, with an impressive accuracy rate of 90.3 percent. Along with his impressive tackle success rate of 75 percent, he has also won 52 of his 71 aerial duels.
Liverpool spent a world record fee of £75 million to sign the Dutchman from Southampton in January 2018, and Los Blancos need to offer an amount much higher than that in order to make The Reds think about selling their star defender.
