Read has gone on to establish himself as a regular, making 21 league and European appearances this season, 17 as a starter.
The 18-year-old has set up six goals in the Eredivisie this season, including a hat-trick of assists against Twente recently; Souffian El Karouani (seven) is the only defender in the league with more assists.
The towering Dutchman has proven one of the best defenders in Premier League history, with his composure in possession combined with his calmness and dominance off the ball allowing Liverpool to dominate opponents.
Dean Huijsen, Bournemouth
Huijsen has enjoyed a whirlwind debut campaign with Bournemouth.
Huijsen’s fine reading of the game belies his tender years, with the Cherries centre-back ranking third for interceptions per 90 minutes (2.2) in the Premier League this season.
He can also play at left-back, which would provide cover for Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.
Marc Guéhi, Crystal Palace
Only Arsenal (24) and Liverpool (27) have conceded fewer goals than Crystal Palace (33) in the Premier League this season and the performances of captain Marc Guéhi have been a key reason for their defensive resolve.
He has been directly involved in 44 of Liverpool’s 69 league goals this season (63.8%), but it’s looking increasingly likely that Salah departs this summer.
Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford
Mbeumo has Premier League experience and he has been in excellent form this season.
