#4 Jordi Alba
The arrival of Lucas Digne at the Nou Camp has further raised speculation about the future of Spanish left-back Jordi Alba at Barcelona. His stock as one of the best left-backs in Europe has taken a downward stride over the last few years. While a move to one of the toughest leagues in the world might worsen his situation, he has the right ingredients to be a success in England.
His pace and acceleration can often leave the opposition bamboozled and he is very productive with the ball at his feet, splitting open defences with clever short passes and crosses. It’s time Alba tested his mettle in another faster, more physical league and a move to Liverpool, should it materialise, could be his chance to improve on his slowly yet steadily fading reputation.
