Virgil Van Dijk Upon receiving the accolade, the 28-year-old said:


"First of all, I think I need to thank all of my teammates. Without all of them and without the staff, I wouldn't have achieved what I've achieved over the last year especially. I thank my family of course" .

"I'm very proud to get this trophy and it's all credit to everyone that's helped me along the way."
