Virgil van Dijk says he would immediately swap his PFA Player of the Year award for the Premier League title.

The Reds missed out on the championship by one point to Manchester City despite finishing with a total of 97 points.

And van Dijk would have happily given up individual honours to end Liverpool's title drought.

"It's a big honour, a huge honour, but I would swap it immediately for the Premier League title," he stated.

"To get recognition for what I have done this season is always good, especially as a defender, but it is all down to everyone around me, and without everyone else who has been working with me [and] playing with me it wouldn't be possible.

"Even the team behind the team [at] Melwood. The people who work there, the people around us are so important."
