Mamadou Sakho
His pre-season antics might be leading him out of Anfield now, without playing a single match this season so far, but his defensive prowess cannot go unnoticed. In the previous season, where he made 22 appearances for the Reds, he had an 88% average passing accuracy and won 60% of his average duels. Desperate for playing time, the French international could be a clever signing.
Antonio Rudiger
Towering at 190 cm and armed with good pace, the AS Roma central defender is a force to be reckoned with at the back as his strong build and height could be a perfect option for any English Premier League club. He has already bagged 4 caps for his national team and looks a promising player in the defence.
He is still young and needs to be nourished properly to turn into one of the greats. Southampton could exactly be the place for the 23-year-old who are known for nurturing young talents. His agility and aerial prowess make him a serious threat from indirect set pieces and will surely earn him a place at Southampton first team.
