. Emiliano Martínez - Aston Villa
Redknapp said: "First up, Emi Martínez. Martínez has had a very good season for club and country and has found himself in my team of the week many times. Villa have had a lot of standout players, but Martínez was the key for me. His distribution, his shot-stopping and his presence are all top-class and he plays with a real swagger to his game. There’s not many better in the league or anywhere around Europe." Photo: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images
. Kieran Trippier - Newcastle United
Redknapp said: "Newcastle have had such a brilliant season, I’m picking their skipper at right-back, Kieran Trippier. Kieran’s been the best right-back in the league this season, what a signing he’s been for the club. He’s so experienced and has seen it all in his career. Not many have created more chances than him, he’s got so much quality crossing the ball from open play and set pieces." Photo: George Wood/Getty Images
5. Ben Mee - Brentford
Redknapp said: "It may not have been a flashy signing, but Ben Mee was one of the signings of the season. He’s so experienced and has been top-class for Brentford in what’s been such a great year for Thomas Frank’s side. Ben is a proper defender and has defensive instincts that you can’t teach. His positioning and sense of danger in the box is superb." Photo: Catherine Ivill/Getty Images
6. Pervis Estupiñán - Brighton & Hove Albion
Redknapp said: "Picking one Brighton player was difficult! Caicedo, Mac Allister, Mitoma, some top performers. I’m going with Pervis Estupiñán though. He’s been as good as any left-back in the league this season, really impressive considering it’s his first year at the club. To sell Cucurella and replace him with this fella whilst making a profit, fantastic business by the club." Photo: Julian Finney/Getty Images
7. Casemiro - Manchester United
Redknapp said: "First up in midfield, Casemiro. What a signing he’s been for United, he’s transformed that team. This lad has won it all in the game and his experience and winning mentality has really rubbed off on this side. Every credit to him, he’s arrived in English football and instantly got stuck in and tried to improve the club, there’s been plenty of high-profile players down the years that have struggled. With United back in the Champions League next season, they’ll be relying on him again." Photo: Alex Livesey/Getty Images
8. Martin Ødegaard - Arsenal
Redknapp said: "There’s been plenty of top Arsenal performers, but Martin Ødegaard has been the key in my eyes. He’s always been such a talented, classy footballer but this year, I feel like he really came of age. He really led his side and was constantly creating chances and scored some big goals as they challenged City at the top of the league. I love watching him play." Photo: Clive Rose/Getty Images
