#7 Virgil Van Dijk
The rock solid Liverpool centre-back was possibly the best signing for Liverpool in January 2018. Van Dijk belongs to a rare breed of defenders who apart from being tremendous sweepers, are equally impressive on the ball as well.
Van Dijk added the much-needed stability to the Liverpool back line and has been one of Premier League's star performers ever since he debuted in the most enticing football league of the world. The daunting Dutchman was awarded the captaincy of the national side by Ronald Koeman in 2018.
The former Southampton man has impressed critics worldwide with his all-around display and the Liverpool fans are in awe of the dutchman's dynamic playing style.
Van Dijk even helped Liverpool reach the Champions League final in 2018 where they were beaten by the mighty Real Madrid.
Over the years, there have been many great defenders to have had the opportunity to don the famous Liverpool shirt and Van Dijk will surely go down as one of the finest defenders to have ever played at Anfield.
