#3 Andros Townsend (31.76%)
Andros Townsend has arguably been the best signing of this Premier League campaign for Everton this season.
The Toffees have not fared well this season as they are only six points ahead of relegation-battling clubs. Much of it can be narrowed down to the absence of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin for a long period due to injury. The service has been incredible this season and one can only wonder how many goals the Englishman would've scored from them.
Although Demarai Gray is a surging presence from the wings, Townsend has had an eye for defence-splitting passes in the Premier League. The former Tottenham Hotspur ace has been a consistent figure on the right-wing this season. He often cuts back onto his favored left foot to deliver pin-point crosses into the box.
In the absence of Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison has had to deal with most aerial deliveries into the box. Townsend has attempted 85 crosses this season and 27 of them have reached a teammate with a 31.76% success rate.
With Calvert-Lewin's recent return to the team, Townsend's cross could potentially lead to more goals for the Toffees.
#2 Pascal Gross (34.14%)
Pascal Gross hasn't had the best season at Brighton and Hove Albion this term but his eye for a pass is still better than most. The midfielder has been responsible for linking up play between the defense and the frontline but also often drifts into crossing positions.
Striker Neal Maupay is a great header of the ball while the Seagulls also make it a point to crowd the penalty box when going forward. This bodes well for Gross, who is two-footed, making him a huge threat on the wings.
Unlike most players on the list, the 30-year-old ace crosses from diagonal positions and curves the ball into his teammates. This makes it really hard for defenders to clear the ball as a bad touch could put the ball into the back of their own net.
In doing so, the Brighton star has achieved a 34.14% success rate. He has provided 28 successful deliveries into the box out of the 82 he has attempted so far.
Brighton will be hoping his attackers can get to the end of more of Gross' crosses over the course of this Premier League campaign.
#1 Conor Gallagher (37.68%)
Conor Gallagher has been nothing short of brilliant for Crystal Palace this season. The Chelsea loanee has by far been the best player at the South London club and his attacking input has been key for the Eagles.
The English international has worked his socks off this season, playing in a three-man midfield and contributing in all areas of the pitch. Like Gross, Gallagher too picks up intelligent crossing positions.
The 21-year-old is often in diagonal areas outside the penalty box and delivers the ball with shape and zest. The fact that Palace have Jordan Ayew, Christian Benteke and Odsonne Edouard as strikers bodes well for the young playmaker.
So far, the youngster has attempted 69 crosses in 17 appearances. Out of them, 26 have found the intended target, thereby garnering a success rate of 37.68%. These numbers mean that the loanee has been the best crosser in the Premier League so far.
Unfortunately, Palace manager Patrick Vieira might have to let go of the youngster at the end of the campaign. Gallagher's parent club Chelsea shall reap the fruits of his talent next season. Until then, the French manager shall try to churn out as much creativity as possible from the bustling midfielder.
