Top 5 footballers who play the killer-ball in the Premier League 

#2 David Silva

The maestro in sky-blue.

What an absolute peach of a player this guy is! David Silva! The best Valencia export since David Villa, Silva is as brilliant a playmaker as they come.

Words will only take away from the sheer genius of the Spaniard who has been at the top of the English game for the past 8 years. Having managed to keep up his performances all along, Silva has become the heart of the City attack with everything going through him.

Silva currently sits behind only his fellow teammates de Bruyne and Sane in the assists tally in the Premier League but these stats aren't enough to fully understand the value of the Spain International. The City captain's (in Kompany's absence) pre-assist game is just as good, if not better.

Regularly finding runners in-behind defences with raking passes, Silva is a joy to behold every time he gets onto the pitch.

The genius has notched up a scarcely believable 113 assists in his time at the Etihad. Just WOW!
