England

Robert Snodgrass (Norwich City): 36 key passes.

Mesut Özil may be dazzling crowds in his debut Premier League season, creating chances left, right and centre, but Norwich City’s Robert Snodgrass has created two fewer key passes than Arsenal’s playmaker.

The Scotland international is currently the sixth most creative player in the English top flight.

France

Rémy Cabella (Montpellier HSC): 37 key passes.

Fifteen Squawka Best Player Awards, six goals, and 37 key passes. It’s no wonder that Rémy Cabella is being touted with a move elsewhere. Newcastle United will have done incredibly well to clinch Cabella’s signature if reported interested from the Magpies is true.

Spain

Roberto Trashorras (Rayo Vallecano): 43 key passes.

Rayo Vallecano’s Roberto Trashorras should be added to your list of La Liga’s most gifted playmakers, because since the start of the 2012-13 league campaign the 32-year-old has fashioned 126 key passes for his team-mates.

Germany

Hiroshi Kiyotake (FC Nürnberg): 38 key passes.

Following Hiroshi Kiyotake’s move to Europe in 2012, the Japanese international’s impressive performances have been met with widespread critical acclaim. The attacking midfielder currently has the fourth-highest total (38) of key passes this season, three behind the talented Marco Reus.

Italy

Miralem Pjani? (Roma): 33 key passes.

Miralem Pjani? has been continuously linked with Manchester United for the last three months amid conflicting reports throughout various media outlets. The 23-year-old won’t leave on the on the cheap, however the gifted midfielder’s talents shouldn’t be ignored if he seeks a move from Rome.
