Joel Matip’s (£5.0m) and Dejan Lovren’s (£5.0m) extended World Cup absence potentially leaves the door openfor either Joe Gomez (£5.0m) or Ragnar Klavan (£4.5m) to fight for a place at centre-back alongside Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m). Daniel Sturridge (£6.0m) has been playing in a deeper number 10 role and is the club’s top-scorer over the summer.
