Dejan Lovren (Southampton) £15m
Liverpool conceded far too many goals in 2013/14 and that’s down to no one effectively partnering no-nonsense Slovakian Martin Skrtel.
So what better way to resolve the problem than to bring in another no-nonsense competitor?
Croatian Lovren had a superb debut season in the Premier League and with Mauricio Pochettino leaving St Mary’s there is perhaps every chance that the 24 year old former Lyon man could do likewise.
The carrot of Champions League football is sure to entice the World Cup star and Lovren is superior to France’s Mamadou Sakho and veteran Kolo Toure whilst Daniel Agger isn’t half the player he once was.
