#3 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain)
Paris Saint-Germain have developed a world-class squad and it has only got better with the addition of Lionel Messi in the summer transfer window. Despite the Argentine's arrival, Kylian Mbappe remains one of their best players.
The Frenchman has been a wonderful player for the French giants using his quick pace, lovely dribbling and amazing goal-scoring abilities. It is difficult to compete with Kylian Mbappe in a one-on-one situation. What does not get enough attention, however, is his skill to create goals.
The youngster is great at bringing his teammates into the game and has done that very well this year. Kylian Mbappe has recorded 22 assists in 2021, out of which nine have come in Ligue 1 in the 2021-22 campaign.
#2 Filip Kostic (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Filip Kostic is quite accustomed to German football given that he has played for three different clubs in seven years. Currently at Eintracht Frankfurt, the Serbian is an important player for them.
One of the best things about Filip Kostic is his versatility. He can play almost anywhere on the left side of the pitch and is most often seen in left midfield. The 29-year-old has been quite creative for Frankfurt using his sweet left foot.
Last season, Filip Kostic registered 14 assists in the Bundesliga. His form has only got better in the 2021-22 campaign as he has already recorded six assists in 16 league appearances. The Serbian has made 25 assists this calendar year.
#1 Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
There is no doubt how great Thomas Muller has been for Bayern Munich and the German national team. Playing in different attacking positions, the 32-year-old is still a very productive figure in front of goal.
Using his sharpness, amazing positioning and quick thinking, Muller has been very innovative on the field. Last season, the German registered 19 assists in the Bundesliga, playing in just 32 matches. His link-up with Robert Lewandowski was a delight to watch.
Like many on this list, Thomas Muller has seen a surge in his form in the 2021-22 season. With 13 assists in 17 league appearances, the 2014 World Cup winner has been brutally effective in being creative in front of goal. He has assisted 32 times in 2021, the most by any player in Europe's top five leagues.
