Newcastle United have a few players who could be in the mix for Player of the Season after some stunning performances throughout this campaign, but really only one has been consistent from August to May.
Lewis Hall looked like a shoo-in at one point as the young left-back seemed to develop into a world-beater overnight, but an unfortunate injury ended his campaign early.
Jacob Murphy's heroics have been phenomenal this season, and his goal contributions have been many and vital, but the bulk of those came during a spell between December and April.
Sandro Tonali has been amazing in the middle of the park for Newcastle this season, showing us exactly why we paid £55 million for him, and why the Italians haven't been able to let go ever since, but it did take him a while, and some tinkering by Eddie Howe to find that form.

Dan Burn set to sign a new deal to keep him at Newcastle United
Dan Burn is our frontrunner for Player of the Season
For us, the clear winner is Big Dan Burn. The 6'7" defender from Blyth has been a colossus at the back, with Alan Shearer hailing him as 'superb' to Sky Sports after the season opener against Southampton.
We had Burn ready for the scrap heap last season after some dire performances when deployed at left-back, but he has come into this season stronger and fitter than ever, playing as a centre-back, and it has all paid off massively.
We're struggling to recall a poor performance by the newly-capped England international this season, which is why he gets our vote.

Dan Burn is set to sign a contract extension at Newcastle United
We're sure that Burn is ecstatic that NUFC Feed have deemed him our Player of the Season, and the fact that the Daily Mail are reporting that he's agreed terms on a new contract at the club comes in a close second.
After such a great season in which he scored in the Carabao Cup final just days after receiving his first-ever England call-up, the club have rewarded the 33-year-old with a new deal despite having a year remaining on his existing contract.
It's a big move by the club given Burn's age, but Newcastle are in the hunt for a new centre-back, and will hopefully have Sven Botman available again for all of next season, so Burn may not feature as regularly.
We're still happy he's sticking around, though, and given that he's working on his coaching badges, maybe he sticks around after he hangs up his boots.
