The 10 best playmakers currently in the Premier League
The Premier League is host to a number of creative stars who run the show for their teams and create plenty of chances and chip in with crucial goals. These ‘number 10s’ or playmakers are usually the most skilled players in their teams.
Ranking the 10 best playmakers in the Premier League is no easy task. Ozil, Hazard, Coutinho and De Bruyne all fefature on this list but which position are they in? Without much ado, let us look at the 10 best creative midfielders in the Premier League.

#10 Dusan Tadic
Southampton’s gifted Serbian playmaker Dusan Tadic has been playing well but has not found the right kind of support from his team-mates. Although Tadic has created a very high number of chances (30) this season, a lack of clinical finishing has seen Tadic have 0 assists this season.

Tadic’s stats might pale in comparison to the other playmakers in the League, but he has still been one of Southampton’s best performers and anyone who has seen the Serbian play will agree that he deserves his place in the top 10 playmakers of the Premier League.
The 27-year-old is currently at the peak of his career and with many Italian sides like AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli interested in securing his services, the Serbian international might well be plying his trade outside the Premier League in the next transfer window.
