Who has the most Premier League assists in 2022-23

Not only the best playmaker in the league in the last decade, but perhaps even the best player. Once again he is leading the assists chart, now with Erling Haaland giving him a focal point to aim for. He will be aiming to break Thierry Henry's record of 20 assists.

Last year's Playmaker of the Season, Salah has had a slow campaign by his standards but is starting to pick up form as his team enters a crucial stage of the year.

The Belgian was having a great season in front of goal for Brighton, but ever since he signed for Arsenal in January, he has been great at setting up his teammates.

Saka was Arsenal's best player last season, and it looks like he could one up his previous season from his performances so far this campaign.

Olise continues to impress for Crystal Palace in his second season at the club. If he continues his current performances he could attract serious interest from bigger clubs.

Known for cutting inside and letting rip with his gifted left-peg in trademark style, Mahrez has been popping up with assists all over the place towards the business end of the season thanks to his delicious crosses, sheer quality on the ball, and ability to pick out a teammate with his cut-backs, particularly midfield runner Ilkay Gundogan, and Haaland.

Maddison is once again proving to be Leicester City's ace this season, with The Foxes looking lost when the English playmaker isn't fit to play.

After a turbulent start to the season, Trent Alexander-Arnold has impressed in a new hybrid role, drifting into midfield, rather than maintaining a wide position in the build-up phase. This has helped the Englishman have a more telling impact in the final third, and rack up his assist numbers.

Robertson may not be as recognised for his playmaking skills compared to colleague Trent Alexander-Arnold, but he continues to be one of the best creative defenders in the game today.

Perišić hasn't had the best of starts to his Premier League career, yet he continues to be a creative force in the Tottenham squad.

Fernandes continues to be an important creative outlet for Manchester United this season despite now sharing responsibilities with Christian Eriksen.

Eriksen has rejuvenated in more than many ways. After his life-threatening heart attack two years ago, he has once again shown the football world his talent. He has shone for Manchester United and is giving tough competition to Bruno Fernandes as their leading playmaker.

Gibbs-White, like Nottingham Forest, took some time to adapt to new surroundings but has been crucial in churning out results for them.

While the German midfield does not attract the same level of attention or praise as his teammates, Alexis Mac Allister, Moises Caicedo and Mitoma, the 31-year-old has one of the unheralded and underrated gems at the Amex. He's been an invaluable player for Roberto De Zerbi's side thanks to his versatility, and ability to orchestrate games from midfield.

The Norwegian has taken the Premier League by fire thanks to his incredible goalscoring prowess, but he is proving to be more than just a goal scorer in his debut season for Manchester City.

While Ivan Toney takes most plaudits, his all-action strike-partner Bryan Mbeumo has been an unsung hero for Thomas Frank's side. Blessed with superb stamina to complement his bullish and dogged pressing approach, he has been at the heart of many Brentford goals this season, with his duo alongside Toney causing opponent Premier League defences all sorts of problems.

Iwobi has arguably been Everton's best player this season and is starting to justify the high price they had paid for him.

Ødegaard is proving why manager Mikel Arteta was correct to hand him the captain's armband as he leads from the front to take Arsenal to the top of the table. He operates just behind the centre-forward, in the hole, and is tasked with creating goalscoring opportunities thanks to his gifted creative attributes.

After firing Bournemouth back into the Premier League last season, talismanic striker Dominic Solanke has played a pivotal role in the Cherries' bid for survival, scoring some important goals, while also contributing with valuable assists.

The English winger has turned out to be an integral cog in Leeds' eleven and his backheel assist for Junior Firpo's goal against Southampton was surely one for the ages.

The young midfielder continues to show why he's one of the hottest prospects in English football and repays Aston Villa's faith in him.

The transformation of Solly March has been nothing short of remarkable this season, with shouts for the winger to be called up to the England squad on recent form.

March has always been a workhorse, but his end product has improved significantly under the new boss Roberto De Zerbi, who is showcasing his unique ability to get the best out of players at Brighton.

The former Aston Villa star didn't enjoy a great first season after a record move, but he is starting to show why Manchester City spent such a huge sum as he is making up for his lack of goals by creating goals for his teammates.

The Swiss international's turnaround at Arsenal has been nothing short of a fairytale. From being booed by the fans at the Emirates to becoming a senior figure at the Gunners, Xhaka has added the experience that Mikel Arteta's young side lacked as they continue their gallop toward the Premier League title.

Kulusevski has been critical for Antonio Conte's team and is currently making Juventus regret their decision to sell him. A versatile, left-footed wide player who can play wide on the right or centrally, the 22-year-old poses both acreativeand goalscoring threat.

Kieran Trippier has already proved to be an astute signing for Eddie Howe at Newcastle. Brought in from Atletico Madrid in January last year, the Toon stand-in skippier has been instrumental to his side's success in recent months — which has them dreaming of a return to the Champions League.

Trippier has been one of the best in England's top flight this season, and is Newcastle's creator-in-chief due to the sheer amount of chances he creates from open play, and set piece situations from right hand side. He enjoys receiving the ball out wide and high up the pitch, before using his vision to pick out runners in the opposition box.

High-flyers Fulham have defied all expectations this season. And despite his summer move from Manchester United was met with skepticism,Andreas Pereira has swiftly established himself as a crucial figure for Fulham, having assumed responsibility over Fulham’s set-pieces.

The English striker has developed into an all-round package over the past few seasons, creating chances for others in addition to scoring a lot of goals.

Despite a below-par season by his standards Son has still contributed on the front end for Spurs, and will be looking to get back to his best in the next campaign.

Cool, composed and able to make the midfield battle look easy, Rodri is absolutely vital to Pep Guardiola's pass-and-move machine, and a serious contender for Manchester City’s player of the season if it weren't for Haaland grabbing all the headlines at the moment. As has been the case in recent season, the Spaniard has also chipped in with a few important goals and assists this term.

Joe Willock’s progress under Eddie Howe’s tutelage has been impressive. He has gone from a lost cause under Steve Bruce to a very modern tenacious midfield dynamo driving Newcastle’s engine room.

He is a key cog in a midfield, while his end-product has improved drastically in recent weeks, epitomised by his spectacular outside-of-the-boot assist for teammate Alexander Isak against Spurs at St. James' Park.

Mitoma is the new star at Brighton and the fleet-footed Japanese winger is already experiencing interest from major Premier League clubs. After the World Cup, he has taken the Premier League by storm, his speed, on-ball intelligence, and flair has caused mayhem for opposition full-backs.

Luiz is quietly having a great season even if Aston Villa haven't been at their best this campaign, and could possibly land himself a move to a bigger club if he continues in the same form.

A technically gifted playmaker who has the stature of a No. 10, but plays more deeper in holding midfield role, Mathias Jensen has played a big part in the Bees' punching above their weight this season. His set-pieces quality, passing, and vision are a great asset to have for Brentford in counter-attacking situations.

Jesus hasn't been quite clinical in front of goal, but he has been excellent at providing for others and has helped Arsenal lead the league table at the halfway point.

It was uncertain whether Silva would continue at Manchester City, however he continues to be a pivotal part of Pep Guardiola's squad.

Diogo Jota had a below-par goalscoring season owing to his injuries but the Portuguese forward chipped in with crucial assists for the Reds in a transitional season for Klopp's men.

Ivan Toney is a complete modern striker with a varied skillset, and he's showing all of his attributes this season. Of course, he's a great finisher, but even better at linking up and bringing others into play, especially his partner-in-crime Bryan Mbeumo. It's no wonder he's racking up a healthy tally of assists alongside his goals thanks to his all-round play.
