When thinking of potential summer targets, and ahead of a likely home campaign at Wembley next season, I would be tempted to bolster our backline with a quicker centre back.
Despite not getting in the PFA team of the year we arguably have the best centre back pairing in the league, but I am worried about the frailties they show at Wembley when coming up against a pacy forward. It is also very likely that Kevin Wimmer will leave this summer after his lack of first team action this season so we will most likely be in the market for a centre back anyway. I think with the bigger pitch at Wembley it will benefit the squad to have a faster centre back to either compliment Vertonghen and Alderweireld in a 3 or replace one of them in a back four.
Van Dijk looks the perfect mould of speed and strength to me, but doubt we will be able to beat Chelsea to getting him.
Who would you guys target?
