One Newcastle United player has been recognised for his impressive performances this season.
The 2024/25 season will always be looked upon with fondness by Newcastle United supporters after Eddie Howe’s side wrote their names into the club’s history books.
Despite enduing two challenging transfer windows where the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations prevented any big name arrivals at St James Park and fast-tracked the sales of Miguel Almiron, Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh, the Magpies have enjoyed the most successful campaign in their recent history.
Of course, the most eye-catching achievement of the season came when Howe and his players were able to bring a long-awaited end to Newcastle’s 70-year wait for major domestic silverware after they lifted the Carabao Cup with a 2-1 Wembley win against eventual Premier League champions Liverpool. Not content with getting their hands on a trophy, Newcastle secured Champions League football for the second time in three seasons as the claimed fifth place in the Premier League table on the final day of a long and challenging campaign.
A whole host of players have impressed throughout the season and have played integral roles in the success. Dan Burn has been a solid presence in defence and earned a maiden call-up to the England squad. Midfield duo Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes have shown their class throughout the season with some influential performances and winger Jacob Murphy has enjoyed the best season of his career with 23 goal involvements in all competitions. And who could forget the impact of Alexander Isak, who plundered his way to 27 goals and provided six assists in just 42 appearances for the Magpies.
There is little surprise Newcastle players have been nominated for a number of seasonal awards across the Premier League - and one player has taken his place in a team of the season based on average ratings from across the campaign.
