The Premier League has a rich history peppered with legends who not only scored goals but also assisted them. Among these illustrious names, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, and Thierry Henry stand tall as threats on the pitch, each having topped both the assists and goalscoring charts in their careers. Their flair for finding the net combined with the vision to set up their teammates separates them as some of the finest players to grace English football. Who knew that those top bins could also double as assists?

While the aforementioned stars have certainly left their indelible marks on the league, there’s an intriguing subplot hidden within the ranks of Premier League players. A total of 18 footballers from around the globe have had the unique honour of being the sole representatives of their country in the Premier League, carrying a weighty responsibility on their shoulders. Each of these players has not only had to perform individually but has also had to embody the hopes of their nation, bringing a sense of national pride to the English game.

As the Premier League action unfolds this weekend, all eyes are on the clash between Leicester City and Arsenal. The Gunners, hit hard by injuries, are looking to bounce back after a tough Carabao Cup semi-final defeat. Mikel Arteta’s men, desperate to keep the pressure on Liverpool, will hope that their front line can muster a performance reminiscent of those legendary players who’ve mastered the art of assists and goals. Leicester, sitting precariously close to the relegation zone, will surely not make it easy for them—talk about a match with historical consequences!

Wrapping up this lively narrative, let’s not forget the quirks of the Premier League. Did you know that the highest player in terms of assists throughout the league's history is Ryan Giggs, who racked up a staggering 162 assists during his time with Manchester United? And, for a bit of a laugh, it’s worth mentioning that some of the most illustrious goalscorers have at times played spotty defense, proving that scoring goals does not always guarantee a well-rounded player. The Premier League remains unpredictable and exciting, preserving its well-deserved reputation as the best football league in the world!
