The centre-back pipped Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah to clinch the prize for a second time this season after helping Liverpool keep clean sheets in three of his four appearances, as well as chipping in with two goals.
Upon being presented with the award at Melwood on Thursday, Van Dijk told Liverpoolfc.com: “It’s always special to recognition from the fans, but as I've said before, without all of my teammates and the staff, I wouldn’t be able to perform like this. All credit goes to them as well.
“100 per cent [it’s about the collective]. It was a bit of a tough month for everyone, we didn’t get the wins that we wanted, but we kept clean sheets and kept it tight - all of us together, defensively.
