The 10 Best Premier League Players Right Now (Part 3)
G'day tribe! We've made it to the final part. Who is the best Premier League player right now? Let's take a look at the top three below in a list that's sure to be controversial.
3. Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne can score worldies from anywhere, but highlight goals is not the only reason he is the third best Premier League player right now.
He has superior vision on the pitch which gives him an edge against any defence. His ability to scan the pitch at a rate like no other midfielder is why he's one of the best players in the world.
De Bruyne's 15 goals and 8 assists in 2021/22 were more than anyone else at Man City, who have dominated the league and have finished as champions in four of the last five years.

2. Son Heung-min
Korean forward Son Heung-min is as talented as they come and he's been nothing short of exceptional in the last few seasons. He had a career year in 2021-22 with 23 goals, good enough to take out the Premier League Golden Boot along with Mohamed Salah.
He's also proven he's a team player with an impressive 8 assists during the campaign. Both he and Kane have been an unstoppable offensive duo for Tottenham up front.
Either could be considered the best player in the Premier League right now. Standing in both their way is Mohamed Salah who's been playing out of this world.

1. Mohamed Salah
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is the best Premier League player right now, leading the league in both goals and assists in 2021/22, a campaign they were unlucky not to be crowned champions in
Salah scored 23 goals to clinch the Golden Boot award with Heung-min. He finished with a league-high 13 assists thanks to his insane dribbling ability and excellent vision.
The forward has dominated in his 5 seasons with Liverpool and has never missed a beat. The Egyptian legend has been on fire and is the undisputed best player in the Premier League right now.
Salah in the Premier League. 17/18: 42 G/A 18/19: 30 G/A 19/20: 29 G/A 20/21: 27 G/A 21/22: 36 G/A

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

I think i will pick KDB as number 2 and Son number 3. What KDB has done and is doing is exceptional. He isn't receiving much praise for it.
The bias towards goal scorers will never end. Son is talented but not fit to lace Kevin De Bruyne's shoes, not to talk of being rated ahead of him. As far as I'm concerned, De Bruyne is the best player in EPL. Football is much more than statistics.
Exactly! KDB had proven himself times without number, he's been consistently scoring and providing assist but because he doesn't score as much as others (which is not even his job) he is not rated as much as them.
Nothing stands out as the best player in my opinion for now.
I have no questions with your top 3 because I believe you got them right. Salah is the in form player since last season and Son can be formidable too. Injuries makes it hard for De Bruyne to get consistency sometimes.
I would have thought that KDB would be number one. But I also think it is very difficult to compare wingers and attackers with midfielders as there are always different requirments.
Also, would you put Casemeiro somwehre in the top 5?
Statistics are important but I always see Kevin De Bruyne as the best player in the Premier League. No one else has his class and presence on the pitch. The moment he kicks the ball or passes the ball, you feel something is going to happen.
