Newcastle’s best three players this season: First team star makes Benitez look a fool
Matt Ritchie
Perhaps the first name on this list is the most obvious.
Matt Ritchie has been outstanding for the Magpies this season, and he is proving to former side Bournemouth what a mistake it was to let him depart.
The club’s leading assist maker, Ritchie has more often than not been the catalyst for their success, and when he plays well, it appears to lift his team mates’ performances too.
The 28-year-old’s passion and drive mean that he is a crucial player both in attack and defence, and if he continues his fine form, it promises to be a bright season for both the player and the club.
