Many will raise objections on his ranking but statistics certainly back our list. Not only the defense, but he has also been a vital contributor to Liverpool's offensive performance, scoring two goals and providing three assists. He also averages 1.4 key passes per game.

Coming to the defensive part, he may not be as good as Wan-Bissaka but still makes 1.9 tackles per game. The only shortcoming he has is his failure to win aerial duels but again, which player is perfect at 20? He prefers to stay wide and cross the ball from the right side.

Much of the credit for his excellent performances also go to the midfield players who cover for him when he is in the opposition's box. He is only 43 Premier League games old but his importance in Klopp's team is immense. Definitely, the future for England at this position is bright!
