#3 He has helped Liverpool to reach UCL final for the second season in a row
Since the arrival of Van Dijk, Liverpool have managed to reach two UCL finals and have also managed to finish as runners up in the Premier League with just one point behind the winners, Man City in what was the closest title race in the Premier League history. They might also become the kings of Europe once again if they manage to beat Spurs in the Champions League final at Madrid.

Van Dijk has played a major part in this recent run of success of Jurgen Klopp's team. He has stood like a wall at the back and has also scored some crucial goals in the team’s endeavour. With him as the centre back, Liverpool now possess one of the best defences in the world with the likes of Robertson, Alexander Arnold and Allison in goal.
If Liverpool manage to beat Spurs in the final, they will win their sixth UCL title and this would surely elevate Van Dijk's chances of winning the award as it’s past winners in recent times had won the UCL that year.
