The Premier League players with the most assists in 2024/25
The Premier League players with the most assists in 2024/25 The Premier League Playmaker of the Season award was long overdue when introduced eight years ago, recognition of the best creators in the division. Following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season, we've looked at the league's leading assist providers. The Premier League players with the most assists in 2024/25 =4. Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Mikkel Damsgaard (Brentford), Antonee Robinson (Fulham) – 10 Eight players provided 10 or more assists in the Premier League in 2024/25, with five names tied on 10 assists. Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes led the league for chances created, though some wasteful finishing from teammates prevented him from featuring higher on this list. Advertisement Mikkel Damsgaard won Brentford's Player of the Season award after creating 10 goals, while no defender registered more assists than Fulham full-back Antonee Robinson. 3. Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest) – 11 Anthony Elanga has proven to be an excellent addition at Nottingham Forest. Snapped up from the fringes at Manchester United two years ago, the Swedish speedster has registered 31 goal involvements over the last two seasons. Elanga produced a career-high of 11 assists in 2024/25, with his pace on transition and set-piece delivery a real threat for Forest. 2. Jacob Murphy (Newcastle United) – 12 Newcastle continue to be linked with right-sided reinforcements but Jacob Murphy made the position his own this season. Advertisement The 30-year-old delivered the best numbers of his career, scoring eight times and providing 12 assists in the Premier League. No English player created more goals than Murphy. 1. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – 18 Mohamed Salah led the league for assists with 18 goals created in Liverpool's title-winning campaign. Salah looked certain to break the single-season record (20) but his return slowed as Liverpool eased up over the run-in. Still, the Egyptian has become the first player in history to win multiple Golden Boot and Playmaker Awards, having also topped the league for assists in 2021/22.

Owners of Premier League club Brentford buy Spanish third-tier team Mérida
Brentford's Mikkel Damsgaard shoots from a free kick, during the English Premier League soccer match between Brentford and Chelsea, at the Gtech Community Stadium, in London, Sunday April 6, 2025. (John Walton/PA via AP) LONDON (AP) — The owner of Premier League club Brentford has completed the acquisition of Spanish third-tier team Mérida. Brentford said Tuesday its holding company, Best Intentions Analytics, has bought all the shares of Merida, which was only founded 12 years ago. Advertisement The team in the western Spain region of Extremadura is in contention for promotion to the second division. Brentford is owned by Matthew Benham, a former hedge fund manager who developed statistical models for betting on soccer, and has built a reputation as a smartly run, data-driven club that rose into the Premier League in 2021. Benham previously owned Danish club Midtjylland in an early example of multi-club ownership networks that have rapidly expanded in the soccer industry, but he sold his majority share in 2023. ___ AP soccer:

Brentford blaze to 4-0 win over leaky Leicester
LEICESTER, England, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo scored one goal and made another in a 4-0 win over Leicester City on Friday as a dismal display of defending saw the relegation-threatened Foxes slump to their sixth home defeat in a row in the Premier League. Bees playmaker Mikkel Damsgaard teed up Youane Wissa to open the scoring in the 17th minute, and 10 minutes later the Dane picked out Mbeumo on the right, and he curled home an unstoppable shot to make it 2-0. Five minutes later Leicester's defence was caught napping again at a free kick as Mbuemo picked out Christian Norgaard, who flashed a header into the net, prompting several fans to head for the exits, and their side failed to mount any sort of a comeback in the second half. Instead, Brentford substitute Fabio Carvalho rattled in a late fourth to bring Leicester's goals-conceded total to 59, the most in the Premier League so far, as the Bees move up to 10th in the standings on 37 points, while their hosts remain in 19th on 17 points.
