The 10 Best Premier League Players Right Now (Part 2)
G'day tribe! Yesterday I started part one of the best players right now in the EPL. Let's take a look at part two. Who do you think makes the list?
7. Bernando Silva
Bernardo Silva has played alongside Cancelo at Man City with both players causing havoc for opposition. The attacking midfielder has been a dangerous threat in attack managing 100 shot-creating actions last season. That places him top five in the Premier League at creating opportunities.
Silva scored 8 goals and provided 4 assists but is one of the most important influences in the Man City squad. His elegance, creativity, dribbling and sharp passing earns him a spot on this list.

6. Harry Kane
Three-time Golden Boot winner Harry Kane is a goal-scoring machine. He finished first in the race for the Golden Boot in 2020/21 just behind Ronaldo, scoring 17 goals.In addition, Kane led the Spurs in assists with 9 in total. It was the second most in his career and behind his 14 assists in 2020/21.
Kane continues to be one of the best strikers in the world. The Tottenham superstar comes in sixth place on the list of best Premier League players today.

◎ 39 - Robin van Persie ◎ 39 - Harry Kane ◎ 34 - Sergio Agüero ◉ 34 - Son Heung-min 'Weak' is probably unfair. 😅 pic.twitter.com/fJNg4Pc9rB — Squawka (@Squawka) April 9, 2022
5. N’golo Kante
Chelsea star N'golo Kante has been an anchor in midfield at Stamford Bridge since arriving from Leicester. The stat sheet fails to sum up his importance as one of the best Premier League players today.
Kante possesses numerous elite skills amongst the best in the league including tackling, sharp vision, intercepting and a precision pass.
He isn't the most exciting player to watch nor will he pop up on highlight reels, but he’ll have more of an impact on a game than pretty much anyone else in the Premier League.
Kante ✅ Hazard ✅ Drogba ✅

4. Virgil van Dijk
Similar to Kante, Van Dijk won’t pop up on highlight reels or stat sheets but those who play against him or support Liverpool know the influence he can have on a game.
He's the best defensive Premier League player right now, was the 2018/19 player of the season, was a key piece in Liverpool's 19th English title in 2019/20 and followed it up with third and second place finishes in the league.
Van Dijk is a consistent rock at centre-back having registered the most clean sheets in 2021/22 with 21 from 34 appearances, losing only two of those games. Liverpool are always a chance so long as van Dijk is playing.
Mitrovic is the FIRST player to dribble past Virgil van Dijk and cause him to concede a penalty in a Premier League game 😳 pic.twitter.com/qVVrJk1k3f

These are all great players. I want to say VVD deserves to be in the top 3 but he's been out of top form lately. Nonetheless I can't wait to see who makes you too 3 list. I know a certain KDB will be there but I don't know about the other two. I will be waiting though.
Very solid choices! I think the density in this league is so high, it is very hard to pick only 10 great players to be honest :D
