Troy Deeney explains choice of 2 Newcastle United stars in Premier League team of the season | OneFootball

Troy Deeney has picked his best 11 performers on the pitch from this 2024/25 campaign.

The Premier League team of the season (and manager) that have most impressed him.

Included in his dozen choices are two from Newcastle United.

Plus an honorable mention for another NUFC individua.

Troy Deeney explains why he has picked out this NUFC duo for his Premier League team of the season, along with listed the full eleven (twelve) below:

William Saliba (Arsenal)

Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa)

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)

Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth)

Declan Rice (Arsenal) and Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United): Both players have taken a massive leap in their game this season. Rice has added goals and has become one of the top three holding midfielders in world football. His ability to run and press and dominate games without the ball is exceptional. Now he’s adding what he can do with the ball. It’s taken his game to another level. All he needs to do now is start winning trophies.

Guimaraes has captained Newcastle to the EFL Cup. He has gelled that midfield, he’s scored massive goals for them and he is the life and soul of that Newcastle team. They cannot afford to lose him and hopefully now with Champions League football, they won’t do that.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United): There can only be one. The best striker in the Premier League, and the best in world football currently in my opinion. He has everything in his game. Even though he misses a few games here and there through injury, he was only six goals behind Salah. That’s unbelievable when you think he’s missed more games than Salah and plays for a team who just about got into the Champions League on the last day.

Premier League manager of the season:

Arne Slot (Liverpool): In his first season, he took Liverpool to the title. He handled all of the negativity with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk exceptionally well – and and looks as though he’s already on a roll with who he’s going to get in next. He’s handled the media well too.
