Matthijs De Ligt
De Ligt signed for a base fee of £38.5m from Bayern Munich, and seemed to struggle at first, however, he has gradually become more confident, and Parker believes that he was the best of the five.
He said: “De Ligt is getting better and better. He’s a defender that I like because he senses danger. He’s one of the few that seem to enjoy defending and he doesn’t overemphasise anything.
“He realises his limitations and doesn’t want to go beyond it, so he knows what his strengths are, and sticks to them.” De Ligt has made 28 Premier League appearances since joining last summer.
