Alderweireld couldn't get a start at CB until he joined Southampton.I believe Klaassen is the least passed-to player in the Ajax midfield, some say because the others don't trust his ball skills which definitely are limited. He's a work horse-type attacking player, very atypical of Ajax. Before Klaassen, Ajax had De Jong in the same role and he didn't exactly set the PL alight in Newcastle (and is now back in Holland).
Veltman is not a new Vertonghen or Alderweireld. They've had him playing full back for a while now, not exactly a recommendation for center back.
