10 of the best Spanish players in the Premier League

#1 David Silva

Everton v Manchester City - Premier League — Ease and grace personified

Silva is a rover who nonchalantly roams around the final third and looks like he is up to no harm only until he wreaks carnage with passes as sharp as a tack. Elusive and reliable on the ball, the Spaniard is the calming presence that has helped put City on the map in their second coming.

He can kill the most excited ball with a neat caress and shove the calmest of defences into a fit of chaos. Though primarily a playmaker, David Silva has no qualms when it comes to castling the goalkeepers and rattling the net. He was also an indispensable part of La Roja when bullying the best was second nature to them.

Now playing his 8th season with Manchester City, the 31-year-old has won the Premier League twice and was at the very centre of it all.
