British media 'Mirror' unveiled the Premier League game for the 2024-2025 season predicted by 12 experts on the 16th (Korea time).
They expected a total of eight items, including the winning team, TOP4, the relegation zone, the gusty team, the most disappointing team, the best recruitment, the top scorer, and the MVP of the year.
Son Heung-min was also mentioned as the player of the year. First, Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard received three votes. Manchester City midfielder Rodri received two votes. Seven players, including Son Heung-min, Elling Holan (Man City), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Declan Rice (Arnall), William Saliba (Arnall), Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) and Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), shared one vote each.
Reporter Nathan Ridley chose Son Heung-min.
He expected Manchester City to win, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United to be top four. It's the only one who put Tottenham in the top four. Wolverhampton Leicester City Nottingham Forest has been classified as a relegation zone. He expected Ipswich Town to be the main character of the extraordinary event. Predicting the fall of Crystal Palace, he predicted that Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United) would be the best signing. Ridley, who predicted Son Heung-min as the player of the year, picked Holan as the top scorer.
Ridley says 'Let's sort out the obvious first. Manchester City's champion and Holan's top scorer. Now let's talk about something interesting. Tottenham have a good hunch this year. In particular, Son Heung-min is expected to show his skills in his prime. Enze Postecoglou's Tottenham looked forward positively, saying, 'I think I'm going to do something after overcoming the unstable end of last season.' But he talked about catching a rather floating cloud.
In the top scorer category, Holan received overwhelming support. Ten votes were cast. The remaining two chapters were shared by Salah and Alexander Isaac (Newcastle).
The expectation of winning the championship was quite tight. Manchester City received six votes, Arsenal received one vote, and Liverpool also received one vote.

Postecoglou was appointed as Brisbane manager of the Australian A - League during the 2009-2010 season. Finished the season for the second time in last place. Postecoglou, who changed the squad extensively in the second year, led Brisbane to the A-League title in the 2010-2011 season. Brisbane achieved its second consecutive A-League feat.
Based on this, Postecoglou was selected as Australia A national team coach in October 2013. The 2014 World Cup in Brazil was eliminated by three losses, but in January 2015, it gave Australia a win at the Asian Cup in its own country. The Athletic said 'Australia has lost three World Cups but has shown signs of progress. Seven of the 23 players included in the World Cup were eliminated from the Asian Cup squad just six months later.
Postecoglou took the helm of Yokohama in the 2018 J League. It ranked 12th out of 18 teams in its first season. Postecoglou put Yokohama at the top of the J-League again in 2019. Yokohama lifted the trophy for the first time in 15 years.
In 2021, he became head coach of Celtic in Scotland. At Celtic, he won two consecutive games in his first year and the following year before signing with Tottenham to enter the Premier League. Tottenham, ranked fifth in the Premier League last season, is not easy to win. The League Cup or FA Cup is a realistic goal. Tottenham has been without a trophy for 16 years since winning the 2008 League Cup.
