The Premier League is home to a string of great midfielders and the best thing is, there’s a player to suit everyone’s needs.

Destructive number fours, playmaking number sixes, dynamic number eights and silky number tens. You name it, the Premier League’s got it.

But who is the cream of the crop? Here is 90min’s top 10 PL midfielders on current form…

---

It is rare that attacking midfielders are as consistent as Mason Mount.

Spotless out of possession, he also uses the ball efficiently, as his seven goals and eight assists this season can attest to.

Chelsea have spent a lot of money on their squad in recent times but few players are as important as this homegrown talent.

Ruben Neves has always been highly-rated, but it seems like he’s taken his game to another level this season.

Under the guidances of Bruno Lage, the Portuguese international has been exceptional and deserves his place in this top 10.

Back from injury and looking close to being back to his best already.

The French World Cup winner is undoubtedly one of the most talented footballers in the Premier League.

James Ward-Prowse has taken his game to a new level in 2022, producing some eye-catching performances as well as continuing to bang free kicks into top corners around England at will.

Surely he’s earned an international call-up, right?

N’Golo Kante’s powers were being doubted a while ago but he has made these critics look very stupid over the past 12 months.

Underrated on the ball, his defensive powers are legendary and over the past few seasons he has even started to add some goals to his game. He’s also a thoroughly nice bloke by all accounts.

Rodri has had his doubters over the years, but this season accepting his brilliance has become mainstream.

Replacing the timeless Fernandinho was never going to be an easy task but the Spaniard has continually risen to the challenge and is now one of the few ‚undroppables‘ in Pep Guardiola’s side.

One day, probably in the future, West Ham are going to sell Declan Rice for a lot of money.

Sure, his price tag will be inflated by the ‚English player‘ tax, but he will also attract monster bids because he is one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League.

Bruno Fernandes looks to be back to his very best after a slow start to the season.

The midfielder is back banging in the goals and racking up assists for fun.

It is impossible not to marvel at Bernardo Silva whenever he takes to the pitch.

His close control, agility, and turn of pace mean he can carry the ball for pretty much as long as he wants. Once he gets to the end of his meandering runs he normally provides a key pass, assist or goal too.

Here he is. The best midfielder in the Premier League.

Kevin De Bruyne seems to finally be on his way back to his best following a few injury frustrations – and we’re loving it.
