Best Starting XI of Foreign Players to have Played in the Premier League

#8 Attacking Midfielder: Dennis Bergkamp (Netherlands)

Dennis Bergkamp

Few players have been able to add romanticism to the No. 10 role as Dennis Bergkamp. Even though he started out as a right winger, Bergkamp finally found his feet at Arsenal, as the second striker or in the attacking midfield. It is a role that was tailor-made for Bergkamp and the Arsenal No. 10 was outstanding here for his club.

Due to his ability to spot a pass and play defense-splitting through balls, the Dutchman was one of the most feared players in the league. He was the complete package, he had excellent close control, dribbling abilities and quick feet. His balance and turn of pace left many defenders for dead as well.

#9 Left Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

Cristiano Ronaldo

There's nothing much to say about Cristiano Ronaldo that has not been said earlier. The Portuguese introduced himself to the world by running down the left hand side of the United attack. It was at Manchester United that he established himself as one of the best in the world.

The Portuguese is consistently one of the most feared strikers in the world. He has the perfect mix of speed, ball control and finishing abilities. His goal scoring abilities is one of the best in the world and no one else could be selected ahead of him in this team.
