Liverpool transfer news
Jordan Henderson has today been named Liverpool captain, and the England international is also second in a list of goal and assist contribution from open play by midfielders since the 2010/11 season…
10) Ramires – 22
An underrated star of the Premier League, Chelsea midfielder Ramires has a strong record in contribution of goals and assists from open play.
9) Mark Noble – 23
Not the best player in the country by any stretch, but Mark Noble has done a good job for West Ham United and is Mr Reliable in end product as well as work rate.
8) Philippe Coutinho – 25
An amazing record for a player only in England since 2013, Philippe Coutinho has been superb for Liverpool and always gets good figures in goals and assists.
7) Cesc Fabregas – 27
Another player who has done remarkably well to achieve such numbers given he wasn’t playing in the Premier League for three of the last five seasons.
6) Steven Gerrard – 27
Another Liverpool great, Steven Gerrard has done well to keep firing in the goals and providing ammunition for his team-mates despite being past his best for the last few years.
5) James Morrison – 32
A surprisingly high midfielder on this list, the West Brom man is another underrated midfielder judging by these impressive stats.
4) Aaron Ramsey – 38
A hugely improved player in the last couple of seasons, Aaron Ramsey has done well to come back from injury and add real quality to the Arsenal midfield with plenty of goals and assists.
3) Frank Lampard – 43
Still one of the best even in his later years, Frank Lampard was more than just an efficient penalty taker for Chelsea and continued to produce great numbers for Manchester City last season.
2) Jordan Henderson – 43
A very decent return for a player not always associated with his end product, Liverpool’s new captain Jordan Henderson has weighed in with 43 goals and assists from open play in the last five seasons.
1) Yaya Toure – 64
Some way in front is the unstoppable Yaya Toure, who has been one of the best players in the world in recent times, guiding Manchester City to two titles with his match-winning displays.
