Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool continue to be in negotiations over the transfer of Florian Wirtz(Image: Pau Barrena/Getty Images)

The German Footballers' Union (VDV) have voted Florian Wirtz as the best Bundesliga player amid ongoing transfer negotiations between Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool over the attacking midfielder.

The £126m-rated Wirtz wins for the second straight season and now has a pair of Silver Boot awards.

Wirtz, however, matches the latter by becoming the other player to win in consecutive seasons, something the striker did twice at Bayern Munich.

He also did so despite the Bavarian club becoming Bundesliga champions again at the expense of Xabi Alonso's side.

His first selection the previous season also came alongside winning the Newcomer of the Year, which the former Brighton & Hove Albion striker Deniz Undav won this time.

Should the Reds sign Wirtz during the summer transfer window, they will have two players of the season in their attack next season.

Mohamed Salah has already been named the Football Writers' Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year and Premier League Player of the Season.
