5 Center Backs Liverpool Can Sign If They Don't Get Virgil Van Dijk

Liverpool have been chasing Southampton center back Virgil van Dijk all summer, and they're running out of time.

Earlier in the transfer window, a move seemed imminent, but then Southampton reported Liverpool to the FA for supposedly "tapping up" the Dutch international. Liverpool were forced to apologize and said they had ended any interest in van Dijk.
