NewsVirgil van Dijk up for Premier League Player of the Month

The centre-half is in contention after contributing in both boxes during a period that saw Liverpool win three of their four matches in the competition.

Van Dijk was part of a Reds defence that kept clean sheets in victories at Sunderland and Nottingham Forest, heading in the winner from a corner in the former.

He then closed February out by netting against West Ham United at Anfield to become the joint-second highest-scoring defender in Premier League history.

Also in the running to win the award are Viktor Gyokeres, Nico O'Reilly, Dango Ouattara, Antoine Semenyo and Benjamin Sesko.
