The Reds centre-back topped a poll of his peers across the 92 Premier League and Football League clubs to scoop the prestigious individual accolade in recognition of his remarkable consistency and dominant performances.
Van Dijk has made 45 appearances in all competitions this term, helping Liverpool to record 23 clean sheets and contributing five goals in the team’s quest for Premier League and Champions League glory.
The Netherlands captain saw off competition from teammate Sadio Mane, Manchester City trio Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling, and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard.
