#3 Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
The third-ranked player on this list is Virgil van Dijk. At the same time, the Dutch international is the only defender on this list. But, this list wouldn't have any sense without him. Van Dijk is Klopp's main player in defence and we can say that he is a glue that sticks everything together.
His presence on the field brings security to the whole squad. Liverpool conceded only 7 goals in the first 19 matches in Premier League. This tells you how good Liverpool defense is and the real commandant is Virgil.
Van Dijk came to Liverpool last January in a big-money transfer from Southampton. He became the most expensive defensive player in the history. But, when you see what he brings on the field, it can be said that he is worthy of every penny.
