Three members of Liverpool’s title-winning squad have been nominated for the Premier League’s player of the season award.
Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Ryan Gravenberch lead the eight-player shortlist after helping the Reds to a 20th league title.
Captain Van Dijk has played every game for Liverpool this season, helping the club record 14 clean sheets, while midfielder Gravenberch has only missed one match.
Salah, meanwhile, has registered a league-high 46 goal contributions, including 28 goals.
Nottingham Forest are the only other club with more than one nominee, with Morgan Gibbs-White included alongside Chris Wood, who is enjoying his most prolific Premier League campaign with 20 goals in 34 matches.
Also nominated are Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, who sits second in the scoring charts with 23 goals, and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, who has 18 goals and seven assists to his name – the third-most goal contributions in the league.
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice completes the list.
A public vote combined with votes from a panel of football experts will decide the winner, who will be revealed next week.
