After securing seventh place in the Premier League with a 4-2 win over Brentford on Sunday, five Newcastle United stars have been named in the shortlist for the inaugural Premier League Fan XI.
The nominees will be selected ahead of a vote for the inaugural XI, which will be chosen by supporters.
Winger Anthony Gordon has scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in a first full season with the Magpies, while fellow striker Alexander Isak is on the shortlist after netting 20 goals in all competitions this season.
Isak, who is up for the Premier League’s Player of the Month award and the Young Player’s, has become the first Magpies player to score more than 20 goals in a single season since the legendary Alan Shearer in 1996.
Voting for the Magpies’ quintet will open at 9 am on Tuesday, 21st May, and closes at 12pm on Monday, 27th May. Fans can celebrate the season and the players’ performances by creating footage with easy video editing tools, capturing all the memorable moments of the campaign.
The nominees are:
Bruno guimarães – recognized for his often-dominant role in United’s midfield, having only missed one league game so far this season.
Fabian Schuhr – nominated after playing a key role in helping Howe’s side to a second successive European campaign.
Kieran Trippier was nominated after starring in the club’s impressive run to the top of the table.
