Virgil van Dijk joined Southampton in September from Celtic in a deal of around £13 million and he has definitely made an impact in the Premier League side this season.
The 24-year-old won both of the club's main awards this campaign, Players' Player of the Year and Fans' Player of the season for his displays in 2015-16.
"I want to thank everyone who voted for me, of course," He told the club's official website. "There are no words for this. I'm just very happy. I want to thank everybody at the club and all the staff who helped me and hopefully we can make it even better.
"I think the fans have been amazing for me this year and hopefully we can continue in that way.
"The first day I came here I felt very welcomed straight away. I think all the lads in the group have been amazing as well and I think the team is perfect.
"I'm very grateful for everything this season. It's been a great season so far and hopefully we can finish it very well this weekend."
Congratulations Van Dijk!
