My Take
At 199 cm, Jannik Vestergaard is exactly the kind of towering centre-back I find fascinating, because the interesting question with players that big is always whether they can move and read the game, not just win headers. His journey from Copenhagen through German and English football to Southampton and Leicester suggests a pro who keeps finding a level. I admire defenders who travel and adapt rather than coast, and earning Denmark caps from 2013 onward tells me coaches trust his composure. He's the unglamorous backbone every solid side needs.
