#1 David Silva (Manchester City)
David Silva has a real claim to being unarguably the best Spanish midfielder in Premier League history and to a large extent the best midfielder of any nationality to ever grace England's top-flight.
Ever since his arrival at Manchester City in 2010, the former Spanish international has been nothing short of exquisite and has played a key role in each of the four Premier League triumphs by the Cityzens.
Silva was signed from Valencia in the immediate aftermath of his World Cup win and he went on to become a cornerstone in what has been the most successful period in the club's history.
The Arguineguín native has posted truly unbelievable numbers in the league. Of his 293 Premier League appearances, Silva has won 213 and lost just 47, while has scored 57 goals, assisted 87 times and created 112 big chances.
With the 33-year-old announcing that the ongoing season would be his last with Manchester City, the Premier League would undoubtedly not be the same without 'Merlin the Magician' gracing its pitches.
