#1 Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool)
In football, it is often the attackers who are given the credit for influencing games. But Virgil Van Dijk has shown the world that a defender can also bring a huge difference to a team since his move to Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018.
The difference in Liverpool's defence has been quite evident since Van Dijk arrival at Anfield. Not only is he an experienced campaigner but his ability to read the game makes him stand out from the rest.
Like Ramos is vital to Real Madrid's backline, Van Dijk is also central to Liverpool's defence and if he replaces the Spaniard, he could be the one around whom the Spanish giants can build their defence. He has also shown great leadership skills and he can be the one who can command Los Blanco's defence. He has already shown what he is capable of and he would be the perfect replacement for Ramos.
The Dutchmen has been tipped to join Real Madrid or FC Barcelona in future. Though it will be difficult to prise him away from Anfield, Real president Perez normally signs the player he usually set his sights on. Also, Liverpool's constant inability to win trophies could convince to make a move to the Spanish capital.
