Top 5 active players with the most Premier League assists

#1 Cesc Fabregas

Chelsea playmaker Fabregas is the league's assist king

Spanish World Cup-winning midfielder and two-time Premier League winner, Cesc Fabregas is currently playing in his fourth season at Chelsea and is in his 12th Premier League season. The Spaniard has struggled a bit to find form thus far this campaign and with a number of new additions to the team, Fabregas will need to step his game up.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona player is one of the league's most creative playmakers and tops the list of active players with the most Premier League assists. The Spaniard also sits second on the all-time list, behind Ryan Giggs, with 111 assists.

Chelsea's lack of goalscorers across the team this season is alarming, and Fabregas could help ease the pressure off the strikers by chipping in with a few goals in the second half of the season. The Spaniard could miss out on a spot in Spain's national team given the intense battle for spaces in the squad.
