Georginio Wijnaldum is one of six Liverpool players to be included in the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d’Or, with the winner set to be crowned in December.
The Netherlands international joined Liverpool from Newcastle United in the summer of 2016 and has developed into a key player for the Merseyside giants.
Last season, the midfielder contributed two goals and one assist in 12 Champions League appearances as the Reds won the competition.
Meanwhile, he managed three goals in 35 Premier League outings as Jurgen Klopp’s side came incredibly close to landing the title.
There are perhaps more glamorous names on the shortlist, but Wijnaldum’s spot among the elite is fully deserved, according to the opinion of the Liverpool supporters at least.
