Van Dijk succeeds team-mate Mohamed Salah in winning the award after seeing off tough competition from Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling. Sterling had the consolation of being named Young Player of the Year, following in the footsteps of City team-mate Leroy Sane. Miedema had also been nominated for the Young Player of the Year award but that went to Manchester City forward Georgia Stanway.
