#2: Virgil Van Dijk:

That Liverpool shelled out £75 million on the former Saints man is enough evidence about how good he is, and he has not disappointed the Anfield faithful, being rock solid in the Centre of the defence and forming a great partnership with Dejan Lovren, the two being crucial in Liverpool reaching the Champions League final last season.

The Dutchman has all the attributes of a top-class Centre Back, strong, good in the air and has great ball playing ability. His arrival has transformed a generally shaky Liverpool backline, and his great leadership qualities haven't gone unnoticed, with Liverpool fans calling for him to be the captain this season. With Liverpool having formed a formidable squad this season, the fans have already been dreaming about title glory under Jurgen Klopp and for that to happen, Van Dijk needs to be fit and in top form.
