Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is not just a goal-scoring machine but also a masterful provider of assists, as he surpasses footballing icon David Beckham to secure the 10th spot in the Premier League’s all-time assist leaders list. With a total of 84 assists to his name, Salah’s remarkable feat has placed him among the elite of the English top-flight.
Salah’s rise in the assist rankings has been nothing short of spectacular, leaving legends like Teddy Sheringham, Thierry Henry, and Andy Cole in his wake. The Egyptian King’s recent assist to Diogo Jota in the 2024-25 season showcased his playmaking prowess, propelling him further up the prestigious list.
But Salah is not the only one making waves in the assist department. Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City is hot on the trail, having surpassed the likes of Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and Cesc Fabregas to sit just behind Ryan Giggs in the all-time assists standings. Although catching Giggs’ impressive record of 162 assists may prove challenging, De Bruyne’s relentless pursuit of history is one to watch.
As the current season unfolds, other talented players such as Andy Robertson, Raheem Sterling, and Heung-min Son are also making strides towards etching their names in Premier League history. With De Bruyne nearing the 100-assist mark at an unprecedented pace, the competition among the league’s top playmakers is fiercer than ever.
Moreover, a new generation of players including Bruno Fernandes, Jamie Vardy, and Bukayo Saka are not far behind, poised to join the ranks of the Premier League’s assist maestros. The race to the top of the assist charts promises excitement and fierce competition as these players continue to dazzle fans with their creativity and vision on the pitch.
In a league known for its thrilling action and individual brilliance, the battle for assists serves as a captivating subplot that adds another layer of excitement to the beautiful game. As Salah and De Bruyne lead the charge towards history, football enthusiasts around the world eagerly await to witness who will emerge as the ultimate assist king of the Premier League.
