The Premier League suits Bruno Fernandes' game style
Bruno Fernandes has been among the goals regularly for Manchester United since his debut. So far, he has scored 35 goals in 76 league appearances. What's even more amazing is his ability to create goals for his teammates.
With 25 league assists to his name, Fernandes has been more productive and efficient than some of the league's finest playmakers. On that note, here's a look at five such players who have had fewer assists than the Portuguese since the latter's arrival in England.
#5 Son Heung-min - 18
Son Heung-min has been a blessing for Tottenham Hotspur since his arrival in the summer of 2015. His partnership with Harry Kane has been delightful to watch.
In 218 Premier League appearances so far, the South Korean has scored 79 goals. He has often scored when Spurs have needed them the most. However, it is not just his goals, but also his ability to create for others that has immensely benefitted the north London club.
He has tallied an impressive 44 assists in the Premier League this season, including six this season.
Since Fernandes' debut, Son Heung-min has registered 18 assists in the contribution, which speaks highly of the South Korean's importance to Spurs.
#4 Mohamed Salah - 18
No player in the Premier League right now is as deadly in front of goal as Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool winger has been in sensational form this season, with 19 goals to his name in just 24 appearances.
With his mind-boggling dribbling, amazing footwork and superb goal-scoring abilities, Salah has been one of the best players in the league since his arrival in 2017. He played a key role in Liverpool 2019-20 Premier League triumph, contributing the exact number of goals (19) and assists (10) he has this season.
In fact, Salah recently bagged over ten goals as well as assists for the third time in the Premier League.
Salah has managed 18 of his 44 Premier League assists since Bruno Fernandes' arrival in the competition.
#3 Kevin De Bruyne - 19
With Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne, the Premier League has two of the best midfielders in the world right now.
De Bruyne has been a phenomenal player for Manchester City since he was signed in 2015. There aren't many players who have the technique and vision the Belgian has. With the ball at his feet, he can provide an amazing range of passes with utmost accuracy and precision.
In 200 games in the Premier League, the three-time winner has bagged a rich haul of 49 goals and 80 assists.
Barring his first season in the English top flight, De Bruyne has always been among the top two assist providers in the competition every season. However, the 30-year old has tallied six fewer assists in the competition since Bruno Fernandes's arrival.
De Bruyne has had a quiet 2021-22 campaign thus far in terms of assists, tallying only two in 20 games. However, he has scored seven goals as City are on course to win their fourth Premier League in five years.
#2 Trent Alexander-Arnold - 20
Another in-form Liverpool player this season is Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Englishman has been outstanding on the right flank for the Reds, creating goals regularly.
So far, the right-back has ten assists to his name, the joint-most in the Premier League right now. With his amazing technique and passing abilities, Alexander-Arnold has creates goals at will. His set-pieces are lethal too, and are very difficult to deal with.
With 43 assists in the competition, the 23-year-old is one of the top assist-providing defenders in Premier League history. That includes 20 assists since Bruno Fernandes arrival in the competition two years ago.
It is amazing how the full-back has been so efficient in attack compared to some of the finest playmakers in the league.
#1 Andy Robertson - 21
The fact that there are so many Liverpool players on the list shows how amazing they have been in attack in the last two seasons. One of them is Andy Roberston, who has been one of the finest full-backs in the league in the last few years.
The Scottish left-back is a menace at both ends, having proved his ability going forward for the Reds. Jurgen Klopp's arrival has only taken his game to another level.
Robertson has so far registered 48 assists in 204 Premier League games. That includes 21 since Bruno Fernandes' arrival in the competition. The Scot has contributed nine assists in 19 league games this season as Liverpool seek their second Premier League title in three years.
