Liverpool defender praised by club legend.
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has enjoyed a tremendous season for the club.
In his first full campaign for Liverpool he has led the team to the verge of the Premier League title.
Van Dijk was named in the PFA Team of the Year, along with three other Liverpool players.
The Mail report he has also won the PFA Player of the Year, as voted by his fellow professionals.
Ex-Reds ace Jim Beglin believes it is fully deserved, thanks to the effect he has no his fellow players.
Liverpool’s defence is the meanest in the Premier League, conceding the fewest goals of any team.
Gone are the days when the Reds were a soft touch.
Van Dijk can add to his reputation further when he takes on Barcelona in the Champions League next week.
