Premier League 2024-25 assist leaders: Who will win the PL Playmaker Award?

The Premier League Playmaker of the Year award is a newer accolade celebrating the single-season leader for assists.

Kevin De Bruyne’s reign as chief chance distributor sees him the winner of three of the seven all-time honors since the award was instituted in the 2017-18 season.

But KDB already has some work to do thanks to a red-hot start for Arsenal bright light Bukayo Saka.

Ollie Watkins led the way last season after usual suspect De Bruyne missed half of the season and “only” rung up 10 assists to Watkins’ 13.

De Bruyne had made winning the award a habit and will hope to reclaim the Premier League Playmaker Award, but so far the star of the young Premier League season is Arsenal hero Bukayo Saka.
