As it stands, the number of days remaining before the beginning of the new season is 4 (four). Ahead of this highly expected day, we the Chefs have curated a list of the best seven players that will wear the jersey No.4 in the league.
The top 5 on this list are either oldies or newbies in their respective clubs.
5) Tosin Adarabioyo – Chelsea FC
The former Fulham FC defender completed a free transfer to the Blue side of London. This move may rile up some of the Fulham faithfuls – both clubs are local rivals.
Tosin became the first signing under new Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca, penning a 4-year deal with the club.
The English-born player performed well for the Cottagers during his stint at the club, and he would be eager to deliver for his new side.
4) Sven Botman – Newcastle United
Ironically, the number 4 sits in the 4th position on this list. The Dutchman joined the Magpies for a fee of £35 million ($42.9m) from top French side, OSC Lille. He penned down a 5-year deal on 28 June, 2022.
He quickly became a fan favourite at the Saint James’ Park as he won tackles, duels, closed down well on strikers, played some offside traps and scored some goals.
The coming Premier League season would be his 3rd – a great first season, injury-plagued second season, and he can only hope for the best in the season to come.
3) Ezri Konsa – Aston Villa FC
The Aston Villa defender is a known figure in the league. Although a centre-back, his versatility has proven helpful to the Villans as he also plays as a full-back for the club. He joined the West Midlands club on 11 July 2019 for an undisclosed transfer fee.
Ever since making his debut, Ezri Konsa has given his all for his side. He has scored goals, provided assists, made top quality sliding tackles, top quality 1v1 defending and lots more.
The Englishman was rewarded for his performances in the 2023/24 season with an England National Team Euros squad call-up. He also featured in the Euros for England.
Consistency is key to becoming a great player – Nonetheless, Konsa can build up on his last season’s performances in this coming season as he looks to becoming great.
2) Benjamin White – Arsenal FC
One of the Gunners most improved players last season, Ben White, has transformed into a threat on the right hand side of Arsenal’s set up. The Englishman combined to full effect with Bukayo Saka down the right flank of Arsenal’s attack.
He joined the North London side on 30 July 2021 for a fee of £50 million from Brighton and Hove Albion. Ever since, he has grown into the top class player he is today. He and his teammates would be looking to finally win the Premier League after failing on two occassions.
1) Virgil van Dijk – Liverpool FC
The Dutch International is regarded as one of the best defenders of his generation – he is top in this list. The Liverpool and The Netherlands captain is known for his strength, leadership, speed, and aerial ability.
Signed from Southampton in the winter of 2018, the defender has continued to boss games season after season. He missed the major parts of the 2020/21 season as he suffered an ACL injury (knee).
However, the 1X PFA Player of the Year Award winner bounced back to his best as he has led the club to 4 trophies since his return from injury. He deservedly bags in the top spot on this list.
These are the Top 5 players that are set to wear the jersey number 4 next season.
