Most assists in Premier League history: All-time top 20 after Kevin De Bruyne joins the 100 club
Manchester City's 4-0 win over Southampton on October 8 2022 saw Kevin De Bruyne break the club's record for the most Premier League assists.
The Belgium star has since taken his tally to 102 in just 243 appearances with his latest coming in the 2022/23 Premier League title decider against Arsenal on April 26, when he also scored twice.
In England's top division, he became just the fifth man to reach 100 in the league's history
The 31-year-old is also set to reach that milestone in record time: He hit the 100-mark having made at least 100 fewer appearances in the competition than any other player who reached the mark.
Still, De Bruyne has some way to go to catch the all-time leading assister in Premier League history.
