#4 Virgil van Dijk
Southampton's wantaway central defender who has been tipped for a move away since the start of the season, Virgil van Dijk could be finally on his way out of St Mary's. The Dutch player was close to joining Liverpool in a summer move worth €30 million.
However, the move was not completed and Liverpool will be back in January eager to sign the defender who will also attract a lot of interest from other clubs in Europe looking to strengthen their backline.
Manchester City, Napoli and a whole host of other top clubs are in the mix to drag to the Dutchman to their club in the January transfer window. Liverpool and Manchester City are currently the front-runners to land the central defender. A tall, robust defender with great game reading ability and technique on the ball, Van Dijk is one of Europe's top defenders on offer in this window.
