The Premier League possesses quality English midfielders
The league is currently blessed to have many impressive English performers, especially in midfield. There are midfielders like Jordan Henderson, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice and a few others who like to sit deep and help both the defense and attack.
These players are vital but aren't seen much in the goal-scoring or the assists chart. While that is true, there are other English midfielders who have had an attacking approach and have been quite effective in England's top-division. Here, we take a look at those players who have been productive since the start of last season.

Since joining Leeds United in the 2018-19 season, Jack Harrison has turned into an important player for them over the years. With his ability to play almost anywhere in midfield, he has provided more options and flexibility to his manager.
The Englishman is known to make good use of the space on the flanks and provide some wonderful crosses into the box. Last season, he provided the fifth-most (119) crosses in the box in the league.
