Liverpool Transfers: 11 Essential Signings To Win The League Next Year

4. Ashley Williams

Current Club: Swansea City It seems that every time the transfer window opens that the Swansea City stopper is linked with a move to a bigger club. So far, the 29-year-old has not seen a move materialise, and he has captained the side not only to their first Europa League campaign, but also their victory in the League Cup two seasons ago. Jamie Carragher has stated that one of the things Liverpool lack the most at the minute is a born leader in defence, and that is certainly something that Williams could bring to the side. And not only that, the player is a formidable force in defence, even in a stuttering Swansea side: he made an average of 2.4 interceptions per game this season, and he suits the passing game that Brendan Rodgers took from his old club to Liverpool, with an 86.4% passing success rate. He's also a boyhood Liverpool fan, if the club need added incentive to justify the rumours £10m-£12m price tag.
