Vertonghen's Belgium teammate Eden Hazard was also named on the shortlist for April, having registered four goals and one assist for Chelsea, along with compatriot Christian Benteke, who scored five goals for Crystal Palace.

In addition Manchester United defender Eric Bailly, who picked up five clean sheets in April, was also named, with Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero completing the list having struck five goals last month.
