Top four Portuguese players with most assists in Premier League history ft. Fernandes & Silva
Several Portuguese players have left their mark in the English first division.
Because it has seen some of the greatest football players in history, the Premier League is frequently referred to as the best league in the world.
There have been many Portuguese players who have played in England thus far. Ironically, not all of them have played for Wolves. Some of them have trophy cases that are overflowing, and many have played at the top of the division and recorded the most goals and assists.
Who are the best, though?
Here is a ranking of the greatest Portuguese Premier League players with the most assists in the league.
4. Cristiano Ronaldo: 37 PL assists
During his tenure in England, Cristiano Ronaldo recorded more Premier League goals than any other Portuguese player with 103 goals. In 2008, he earned his third league title with Manchester United and became just the second player in the Premier League to win the Ballon d’Or.
Being one of the most feared opponent in league’s history, Ronaldo truly raised the bar for everyone around him; the statistics only tell half the story. He is also among the top four Portuguese players with the most assists in the league.
3. Nani: 43 PL assists
At Old Trafford, Nani, who was seen as Cristiano Ronaldo’s heir apparent, was flipping great, as the saying goes.
He had a rocket of a shot with both feet and could beat players with lightning speed and incredible technique from either wing. Consistency was his primary weakness, although his four Premier League titles in seven years and inclusion in the 2010–11 PFA Team of the Year demonstrate how successful his time in Manchester was.
2. Bernardo Silva: 50 PL assists
Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has a certain allure. In addition to winning the Premier League six times, he has exceptional consistency, dribbling prowess, unwavering work ethic, and brilliant inventiveness. He’s almost the whole deal when you include adaptability.
1. Bruno Fernandes: 63 PL assists
It has been six years since Bruno Fernandes arrived at Manchester United, and by the time he leaves Old Trafford, he may already be considered a club legend, given the records he has broken and set.
With everything positive flowing through him, Fernandes became the Red Devils’ go-to player right away after starting his Premier League career like a house on fire. It’s kind of like having Eric Cantona, which says it all. The midfielder is one of the most important players in the squad and has the most assists as a Portuguese player in the league.
In how many games did Fernandes reach 63 assists?
In 218 Premier League games.
In how many games did Ronaldo reach 37 assists?
In 236 Premier League games.
In how many games did Silva reach 50 assists?
in 291 Premier League games.
