Who holds the record for the most assists in Premier League history?

Which player tops in the list of most assists in Premier League history? Ryan Giggs's tally for the most assists in the league history seems to stand out. This is because the only players who are still active in the division are at number eight and nine on the list, and all are above thirty years of age. Messi is also the all-time top scorer in football history. Come with us as we share the players with the most assists in a Premier League season of all time.

The list of the best assist kings mostly consists of midfielders because this is one of the key roles of a midfielder. However, with the change in modern football and the kind of roles fullbacks have to offer, defenders have also started appearing on the list.

Leighton Baines set a record of 53 in his career, which has yet to be broken. The English defender spent the best part of his career at Everton, arriving from Wigan Athetic in 2007. He later retired in 2020. The two Liverpool fullback duos - Arnold and Robertson - are the sole threat to Baines' record in their current form. Trent Alexander-Arnold currently leads with 44, while Andrew Robertson has 49.
