Left-back: Jordi Alba (Barcelona) - £54 million
Under the tutelage of Ernesto Valverde, Jordi Alba has been given a new lease of life after he was left out of favor with Luis Enrique switching to a 3-man defence.
Just like Carvajal and his Brazilian counterpart Marcelo, Jordi Alba is also instrumental in engineering incursions for Barcelona via his lightning pace and stamina. The 29-year-old was also linked with a move to Manchester United this summer.
Alba scored two goals and created 37 chances in 29 matches last season maintaining a passing accuracy of 86%. On average, he was involved in four defensive actions per game.
