Two Liverpool players have also made it to the list, that include defender Virgil van Dijk and winger Sadio Mane.

The Egyptian football star, Mo Salah was last season’s winner after he rattled in a record-breaking 32 league goals on his return to England.
Yet even with currently being level with Sergio Aguero for the Golden Boot with 19, there was still no room for Salah amongst the six contenders.
The award is voted by fellow professionals, with the winner scheduled of being announced on Sunday, March 28.
Liverpool supporters and Mo Salah’s fans are not happy with their top scorer’s omission.
