I was good in the air but not the biggest, so I liked having the comfort of a mobile but big player alongside me such as Sol Campbell. “I like the look of Van Dijk - I'm sure he'll be snapped up soon.” Keown was discussing his pick of the Premier League’s top defenders, and also singled out one of those on the books at Emirates Stadium for praise, admitting that he would have welcomed the opportunity to compete alongside such a classy operator. He added: “If I could roll back the years it would mean a lot to have played with Laurent Koscielny. “I would have really enjoyed playing with him - he's a thoroughbred. He plays on the left, I played on the right, so let's do it!” Van Dijk and Koscielny have been mainstays in their respective sides this season, both in domestic and European competition. The latter is said to be close to agreeing an extension to his contract that he will keep him in north London for the foreseeable future, while the former committed to fresh terms at the end of last season and is tied to the Saints until 2022.</blockquote>
