#2 Toby Alderweirald (Tottenham Hotspur)

Tottenham Hotspur v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League
Alderweirald's season has been affected by injuries

Toby Alderweirald has developed into one of the finest defenders in the Premier League since joining Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 from Atletico Madrid after spending a season-long loan at English Premier League side Southampton.

The Belgian defender became an instant hit for the Lilywhites and booked a spot in the PFA team of the year in the 2015-16 season in addition to being Spurs player of the season. Alderweirald has gone to make 111 appearances in all competitions for Tottenham Hotspur in his three seasons at the London side.

However, this season the Belgian has been marred by injuries making only 21 appearances in all competitions for the Spurs. Alderweirald's contract will expire in the summer of 2020 and the Belgian can become a cheap acquisition for the Reds even though they would face fierce competition from other top Premier League clubs.

With 4-years Premier League experience and Champions League experience, Toby can make an instant impact for Liverpool alongside the world most expensive defender Virgil van Dijk.
