1) Virgil Van Dijk - £75 million

Manager In Charge - Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool, by signing Virgil Van Dijk from Southampton, made him the most expensive defender in the world. Is the £75 million price tag too high for the captain of the Netherlands Nationals Team? We'll let you decide.
He was an instant hit at Liverpool after scoring a late winner against Everton in the FA Cup. Since then, he has become the main man for Liverpool's back 4. You will hardly come across a defender who is as polished and determined as VVD when he gets the ball.
He is a "no-nonsense defending" type at the back, who can also hurt the opposition with towering headers during set pieces. Virgil Van Dijk is as important a player as anybody in the Liverpool squad at the moment.
