Premier League football has a long lasting debate about who’s better – Scholes, Gerrard or Lampard? Well there may be another name to add to the hat.
It’s a question that causes controversy everywhere and it always boils down to who won the most medals, who scored more goals but almost most importantly who got the most assists.
Well it seems that there is another former Premier League centre-midfielder who has never really been included in the debate who has more assists than all of them – Cesc Fabregas.
All time Premier League assists Top 10:
- Ryan Giggs – 162
- Cesc Fabregas – 111
- Wayne Rooney – 103
- Frank Lampard – 102
- Denis Bergkamp – 94
- David Silva – 93
- Steven Gerrard – 92
- James Milner – 85
- David Beckham – 80
- Teddy Sheringham – 76
According to the Premier League’s official website, Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas has managed to provide 111 assists in England’s top flight during his eight year career with Arsenal.
Fabregas is second in the all time assists rankings for the Premier League coming second to Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs who sits on top with 162.
Maybe going forward people might start adding Fabregas to the who’s better conversation unless it’s strictly an English players only debate.
