#1 Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
The top spot definitely goes to Virgil van Dijk, who has totally revamped Liverpool's defence since joining the Reds from Southampton in January 2018.

The Dutch centre-back is a beast on the field. Liverpool, who have always been criticised for having a poor defence, have found their new talisman to guide the team into a bright future.
Van Dijk-led Liverpool defence have conceded just 15 goals in 29 games this season in the most competitive league in the world - the English Premier League. Liverpool's defensive tally is the best in Europe, tied with French champions PSG.
Van Dijk's height gives him the much-needed advantage over the opposition players, both in the Liverpool penalty area and in the opposition box, resulting in him scoring 3 goals for the Merseyside giants in the present campaign.
The Dutch centre-back should definitely be the player of the season for Liverpool if they manage to win the Premier League.
