The Premier League houses some of the most creative midfielders in the world.
The English top-flight is the most widely followed professional football league in the world and there's a good reason behind that. The entertainment is always top-notch and that is, in no short part, thanks to the quality of the players who ply their trade in the Premier League.
There has never been any shortage for talented midfielders in the Premier League. The likes of Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Yaya Toure, David Silva have all been exemplary at what they do and the Premier League is still home to individuals who keep that legacy in tact.
On that note, let's take a look at the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League right now.
#5 Mateusz Klich (Leeds United)
Leeds United have been a joy to watch under Marcelo Bielsa more often than not. The legendary manager has improved the side immensely since taking over and has made almost his entire squad several times better than they used to be.
One of the players that has benefitted the most from Bielsa's entry is midfielder Matuesz Klich. Klich is Leeds United's creator-in-chief and the Belgian has been pulling the strings from midfield for Bielsa's men. He is one of the main reasons why Leeds have the fourth best attacking record in the 2020-21 season in the Premier League.
Klich has the ability to find and create space with his passing and movement. He keeps making runs into the final third and draws defenders away to create chances for his teammates. The 30-year-old has scored three goals and has five assists to his name from across 18 appearances in the Premier League so far.
#4 Mason Mount (Chelsea)
Chelsea's attacking midfielder Mason Mount gets a lot of stick. A lot of it comes from Frank Lampard's perceived bias towards him. Some of it stems out of the fact that it is him that keeps the extremely talented Jack Grealish out of the England international side.
Love him or hate him, the fact remains that Mount is one of the finest attacking midfielders in the league right now. Despite all the new signings that Chelsea have made, Mount has nailed down a starting berth in the squad and from across 17 appearances, he has scored two goals and registered five assists.
Among all the no. 10s in the league, Mason Mount has the best pass completion rate. He completes 87% of his attempted passes. Kevin De Bruyne has a pass completion rate of 81.5%.
Mason Mount works tirelessly in midfield and is also great at set-pieces.
#3 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Kevin De Bruyne is, without a doubt, one of the finest midfielders of his generation. The Belgian has been absolutely brilliant for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola and has been able to pull off the seemingly impossible on the football pitch thanks to his immense technical ability and finesse.
The Belgian started the season rather slowly but has since picked up the slack and his numbers are once again starting to look ridiculously good. The 29-year-old has three goals and 10 assists from 16 Premier League appearances and looks set to have yet another stellar season.
KDB kicking into top gear has put Manchester City in a good position to mount a title challenge once again.
#2 Jack Grealish (Aston Villa)
Aston Villa's main man Jack Grealish has been in astounding form this season. If he seemed full of promise last season, he has delivered massively on it this term. Grealish has been a menacing presence for Aston Villa in the Premier League as they sit at 10th on the table with three games in hand.
Grealish is one of the most technically gifted players in the English top-flight. He loves taking on defenders and draws a lot of fouls. He creates an incredible number of chances for Aston Villa and Dean Smith's side is so menacing this season because Grealish is pulling the strings from midfield.
Grealish has been extremely productive in terms of goals and assists as well and has scored five goals and has racked up seven assists from 15 appearances so far this season.
#1 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Manchester United are currently sitting on top of the Premier League table. That they were a team that were struggling to keep themselves in the top half of the table before Bruno Fernandes arrived in January 2020, speaks volumes of the Portuguese midfielder's abilities.
Bruno Fernandes has helped transform Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team into one of the best in the country. The 26-year-old does not shy away from taking risks on the pitch and is not the tidiest players around. However, there is a sense of inevitability about him and he creates an awful lot of goalscoring opportunities for his forwards.
Bruno Fernandes is the best goalscoring midfielder in the Premier League right now. He has scored 11 goals in addition to picking up seven assists from across 18 appearances in the Premier League so far.
Manchester United are yet to consolidate their position at the top and will rely massively on Bruno Fernandes' quality to keep them there.
