On loan at Borussia Monchengladbach for the last two season, the Dane has impressed in the Bundesliga and has a brilliant 91.5% pass success rate, although he doesn’t play as many long balls as Van Dijk. Aerially, Christensen is two inches shorter than the Dutchman, but he still wins 2.7 aerial duels per game in comparison to 4.7 from Van Dijk. But, when it comes to tackles, interceptions, clearances and blocks, not much separates the duo. Whether the Reds can tempt their rivals to sell is another matter.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side were superb in the Bundesliga last season and Hubner was key at the back for them as they finished fourth.
