Ex-Everton man says Man Utd transfer target is better than Virgil van Dijk
Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is one of the top three centre-backs in the world and Virgil van Dijk isn't, according to Marco Materazzi.
Liverpool's Van Dijk is the standout favourite to win this season's PFA Player of the Year award in England, and this week shone and scored in the Reds' 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League. When asked who the best centre-backs in the world are by Suning PPSports TV he said: "I think that right now, among the strongest centre backs are Koulibaly, Sergio Ramos and Romagnoli."
