1) Marcell Jansen – HSV
The 28-year-old German international has won over 40 caps for his country, and is entering his peak defensive years. He’s tall, which helps him aerially, but is surprisingly quick as well. Jansen has a sweet cross when he gets forward, but he prides himself more on his excellent defensive positioning. He’s the kind of player Brendan Rodgers would especially value in European competition next term.
