The Liverpool defender has emerge as a serious candidate for the annual PFA Player of the Year accolade following his remarkable defensive performances this season.

Both Andy Robertson and former Reds centre-back Jamie Carragher are backing Van Dijk who has helped Liverpool defence recorded 17 clean sheets in 29 league fixtures, to win the prize.

But the Dutchman himself has said he would be honored to receive the Player of the Year prize but insisted his focus is on winning a major silverware with the Reds this season, pointing at the Premier League title.

"I want to focus on achieving something special, which this club hasn’t done for 29 years, and if either myself or any other players are involved in picking up individual awards, that’s great," Van Dijk told FourFourTwo magazine.

"It would be a huge honour, but I'd be very proud if any of the squad win awards for a great season, like Mo Salah did last time.

"Winning the league makes you feel even more proud of yourself and the team. It's a sign of the hard work you've put in over a whole season.

"That motivates you. Winning the Premier League title puts you in the history books forever and makes you a legend. That's why you play football. You want to become a legend."
