The 10 best midfielders in Premier League history

10. Marcus Rashford - Manchester United

Rashford gained early fame at the age of 18 when he scored two goals in his debut match for Manchester United in the Europa League against FC Midtjylland. However, his goal-scoring statistics have not lived up to expectations, with only four instances of surpassing the 10-goal mark in the Premier League and never reaching 20 goals in a single season.

9. Jordan Henderson - Al-Ettifaq FC

Comparisons with Steven Gerrard hindered Henderson's development during his time at Liverpool. The English midfielder has played over 600 matches in his career, scoring 39 goals and providing 79 assists.

8. Antony - Manchester United

After an impressive performance in the Dutch Eredivisie, Antony moved to Old Trafford from Ajax for a substantial fee of £82 million. This season, Antony has not made a significant contribution to the team's overall performance.

7. Paul Pogba - Juventus

During his time at Old Trafford, Pogba was labeled lazy and unproductive for the team. The situation worsened when the French midfielder faced a ban due to doping-related issues. If Pogba serves the entire 4-year ban, his playing career may end at the age of 30.

6. Mykhailo Mudryk - Chelsea

One of the expensive signings under Todd Boehly's tenure, Mudryk joined Chelsea in January 2023 for a whopping £88.5 million. The amount seems excessive for a 21-year-old player with no experience in challenging leagues like the Premier League.

5. Kai Havertz - Arsenal

After shining at Bayer Leverkusen, Havertz moved to Stamford Bridge for a deal worth up to £90 million, scoring 32 goals and providing 15 assists across all competitions for Chelsea before moving to Arsenal. However, he has never truly lived up to expectations as he did in the Bundesliga.

4. Bruno Fernandes - Manchester United

Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes is beloved by Manchester United fans but has faced criticism for unimpressive performances and attitude issues. MU legend Roy Keane even suggested stripping Fernandes of the captain's armband.

3. Joao Felix - Barcelona (on loan from Atletico Madrid)

Portuguese forward Joao Felix began his career at Benfica before joining Atletico Madrid in a record-breaking transfer (£111 million) in 2019. However, Felix's attitude has been a contributing factor to losing his place in Diego Simeone's lineup.

2. Alvaro Morata - Atletico Madrid

Morata showed promise at the start of his career, but judging by goal-scoring, the Spanish striker has only surpassed the 20-goal mark in a season twice throughout his career.

1. Neymar - Al-Hilal

Neymar was once Brazil's most promising talent, expected to challenge Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the title of the world's best player. However, off-field issues have prevented Neymar from reaching the level many anticipated.
