The Premier League is full of superstars, from trophy-winning defenders to legendary midfielders like Lampard and Gerrard. These players have led their teams to victories, and now a new generation of midfielders are emerging. 

Fans are excited about a ranking that considers both attacking and defensive skills, naming the top 6 midfielders who rule the game. Get ready to meet the next midfield legends! they are ranked based on their skills, talents, and contributions to their team, so let's get started.

 sixth, Martin Odegaard Arsenal

In the Premier League, there are midfielders like Rodri, De Bruyne, and Rice who have formed effective partnerships with their teammates. At Arsenal, Rice has been working well with Odegaard, who joined the club from Real Madrid in 2021. Odegaard has made a significant impact since his arrival and has played a key role in Arsenal's success. 

Last season, he came close to achieving something remarkable by almost becoming the first Arsenal captain, since Patrick Vieira to win the Premier League. Impressively, Odegaard scored 15 goals in the league, showcasing his scoring prowess. However, what sets him apart is his exceptional vision and creativity, which surpasses his ability to score goals. As a result, Odegaard is widely regarded as one of the best Premier League midfielders in recent years. He is currently fulfilling the potential that was evident during his time at Real Madrid.

Fifth, Bernardo Silva Manchester City

Silva's contributions at Manchester City sometimes go unnoticed amidst the presence of numerous superstars and the brilliance of De Bruyne in midfield. However, Silva truly deserves recognition for his skills and impact on the team. Guardiola,  has even considered him as one of the best players he has ever seen. Silva's creativity, dribbling abilities, versatility, and strong work-rate make him the complete package in midfield.

Before joining City in 2017, Silva played a vital role in Monaco's talented team which included Mbappe and Fabinho. Since arriving at City, Silva has been a consistent presence, making 338 appearances and scoring 63 goals.

What sets Silva apart is his ability to excel in different midfield roles, from defense to attack. He has even played as a winger, full-back, and false-nine, showing his adaptability. Silva's versatility has been crucial to Guardiola's strategies and plans over the years.

Fourth. Bruno Fernandes Manchester United, 

recently I have made a video on Fernandes, if you haven't watched, go and watch.

Fernandes quickly became a beloved player at Manchester United when he joined in January 2020. He is regarded as one of the club's best winter transfers, alongside Andy Cole, Nemanja Vidic, and Patrice Evra.

Since his arrival, Fernandes has scored 71 goals in 219 appearances for the Red Devils. He has also been appointed as club captain. However, this season he has struggled to find his form, scoring only seven goals in all competitions so far.

Nevertheless, it is clear that Fernandes' performances greatly impact the team. When he is not at his best, United's performance suffers. In his best season, 2020-21 he scored 28 goals, helping United secure a second-place finish in the Premier League, behind dominant City.

Fernandes is not only a prolific goal scorer but also a skilled playmaker. His passing ability is exceptional, and it is evident that United would face significant challenges without his contributions.

Third, Declan Rice Arsenal

Rice is currently one of the top defensive midfielders in the world. He might be the only player worth more than £100 million at the moment.

Since arriving at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta's side have looked much more assured in midfield and have been able to control matches that otherwise might have proved tricky while he has also popped up with the odd goal - including a 97th-minute winner against Luton Town.

Even before he made the move to north London, Rice was already one of the best midfielders in the Premier League after breaking into the West Ham team and becoming their captain, as well as solidifying himself as England's best midfielder.

Rice is a key player for both his club and country. He has evolved from a defensive midfielder to a versatile player who contributes to attacks while also providing defensive stability.

Second. Rodri Manchester City

Rodri joined Manchester City in 2019, which was an important signing driven by Pep Guardiola's desire to win the Champions League. Last season, City achieved that goal by winning the trophy against Inter Milan, with Rodri scoring the winning goal.

Rodri is known for his defensive skills, passing ability, tackling, and dominance in aerial battles. In recent years, he has also shown a knack for scoring goals, making him a valuable player in crucial matches.

In his 240 appearances for City, Rodri has scored 24 goals, including the historic winning goal in the Champions League. His presence on the field boosts his team's confidence and intimidates opponents, as demonstrated by City's unbeaten streak of 365 days.

Throughout Guardiola's managerial career, he has had the privilege of working with exceptional midfielders like Sergio Busquets and Joshua Kimmich. With Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne together in City's midfield, Guardiola now has one of the best midfield duos in Premier League history.

Number 1. Kevin de Bruyne, again Manchester City,

De Bruyne has been outstanding in recent years, establishing himself as not just the best midfielder in the Premier League, but also one of the top players overall. His contributions have been crucial to Manchester City's success under Pep Guardiola, who has won five league titles in six years.

De Bruyne's impact goes beyond his time at City. Many argue that he is the greatest midfielder of all time, surpassing his contemporaries. With 98 goals and 161 assists in 367 appearances for City, he has shown remarkable versatility and skill.

His playmaking abilities are exceptional, and he currently holds the third-highest number of assists in Premier League history, behind only Cesc Fabregas and Ryan Giggs. De Bruyne's vision and precision have revolutionized passing in football.

It's incredible to think that De Bruyne initially struggled at Chelsea, facing difficulties in finding playing time. However, he overcame those challenges and emerged as one of the game's greatest passers, leaving an unforgettable impact on the sport.
