#3: TOBY ALDERWEIRELD (TOTTENHAM)
Kompany's Belgian team-mate, Toby Alderweireld, is deemed as the perfect replacement for the Belgian skipper by Guardiola. The 28-year-old Tottenham defender was one of the best performers for Spurs. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino values the player highly.
Alderweireld made 30 appearances for Spurs last season, garnering 14 clean sheets and achieving a tackle success rate of 85%. The Belgian made an average 0.7 outfield blocks per game and 0.3 average fouls per game.
His fouls-per-game stat is a valuable asset since the Premier League has a plethora of lethal attackers. He grabbed an average of 0.9 interceptions per game last season as well and his calm presence at the back could not only help Guardiola but also a young player like John Stones.
