With 87 assists, Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is 75 assists away from Ryan Giggs, the top on the list

All-time Premier League highest assists as of 2025

Key takeaways:

Ryan Giggs remains the all-time Premier League assist leader with 162 assists.
Kevin De Bruyne is second with 119 assists and is still actively playing.
Egyptian star, Mohamed Salah, needs 75 more assists to match Ryan Giggs’ record of 162.
Despite being known primarily as a goal scorer, Salah has quietly built a strong assist record.
Cesc Fàbregas holds third place with 111 assists, most of which came during his time at Arsenal and Chelsea.
Wayne Rooney ranks fourth with 103 assists, in addition to being third on the goal-scoring chart.
Seven of the top ten assist leaders have also been known for regularly scoring goals themselves.

Ryan Giggs remains the Premier League’s all-time assist king with an unmatched 162 assists, a record that has stood for years and shows no signs of being overtaken. His dominance on the left flank for Manchester United was not only about flair and consistency but also about creating goals season after season. While players like Kevin De Bruyne are closing in, Giggs’ total still sets the gold standard for playmaking in the Premier League era.

With 87 assists as of 2025, Mohamed Salah has firmly etched his name into Premier League history, ranking 10th among the all-time assist leaders. While widely celebrated for his goal-scoring ability, Salah’s playmaking record shows another side of his influence—creating chances as much as finishing them.

Kevin De Bruyne, with 119 assists, leads the charge among active players and is the most likely candidate to surpass Giggs if he maintains his current level of performance and fitness. His incredible vision and passing range have made him the creative engine of Manchester City, mirroring Giggs’ influence for United in previous decades.
