Plenty of plaudits are dished out to the players who challenge for the Premier League top goalscorer awards, but what about those who provide the assists?

England's top division boasts some of the greatest creative talent in the world, with celebrated goal-weavers distributed across every team.

So who has the most assists in the 2021-22 edition of the Premier League? Goal has all the details.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has endured a lot of intense scrutiny over the years, but he is an important creative presence for the Red Devils and is showing his worth to the cause this season.

Michail Antonio has come on leaps and bounds at West Ham under David Moyes, developing into one of the club's best goal outlets.

Manchester City boast an array of attacking riches, with no shortage of players who can both score and set goals up. Gabriel Jesus is one of those players and he has added more assists to his game.

Dynamic midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has been one of the quiet stars of the Premier League for the past few years. After first shining with Watford, the Frenchman is flourishing at Everton where he continues to pop up with goals and assists.

Declared "the best right-back in the world" by Jurgen Klopp, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a potent threat while driving out of the Liverpool defence into attack. As well as that, the England international is an accomplished set-piece taker.

Ricardo Pereira spent much of 2020-21 on the sidelines due to injuries and the Portugal international will be eager to make up for lost time in 2021-22. The right-back loves to get forward and assist with the Foxes' attacks.

Said Benrahma set up six goals for West Ham in the Premier League last season and has become an integral part of how the Hammers play.

Brighton's German midfielder Pascal Gross is the chief set-piece taker at the club and has plenty to aim for with Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy in the box.

Chelsea full-back Reece James has matured into one of the best in his position in the Premier League and looks to have added more assists to his game in 2021-22. A formidable presence, James offers an outlet in Thomas Tuchel's tactical set-up.

Croatia international Mateo Kovacic is probably better known for the defensive aspect of his game, but the Chelsea midfielder does pop up with the odd assist when he gets forward.

Newcastle United's French forward Allan Saint-Maximin has emphasised his worth to the club in the past season, contributing to 14 Premier League goals (eight goals, six assists) over the course of the last two campaigns.

Andros Townsend is enjoying something of a career renaissance at Everton, showing the type of enthusiasm that marked him out as one to watch in his early years.
