Argentina has produced a catalogue of talent and several players have ventured across to the Premier League over the years.
Two individuals hailing from the second-largest South American country were heavily influential in Manchester City's ascension into a global powerhouse.
Pablo Zabaleta was actually purchased a day before Man City was bought by Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Group and yet the right-back would go on to become a club legend, making over 300 appearances and winning two Premier League titles with the Citizens.
He was accompanied by compatriot Sergio Aguero for six of those nine years at the Etihad Stadium and the prolific striker netted 184 goals in 275 Premier League appearances for City, including the famous match-winning moment against QPR on the final day of the 2011/12 season.
Ranking third for most Premier League appearances by Argentinian players is goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, having started his career with Arsenal before moving to Aston Villa in 2020, where he's established himself as one of the world's best shot stoppers.
Next is Newcastle United stalwart Fabricio Coloccini, who made 211 Premier League appearances for the Magpies, and he ranks ahead of Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister - who is set to surpass the defender in the 2026/27 campaign.
Carlos Tevez, who played for West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City, ranks sixth ahead of Federico Fernandez, who spent four years at Swansea City and another four at Newcastle United.
West Ham's Manuel Lanzini ranks eighth with 179 appearances ahead of former Tottenham winger Erik Lamela on 177, while West Brom's defensive midfield ace Claudio Yacob completes the top 10 with 160 appearances in England's top-flight.
