Premier League: Most assists in a season

We look at the players with the most assists in a single Premier League season.

Most Premier League assists in a season

Thierry Henry - 20

One of the best players of his generation and one of the best players to never win the Ballon d'Or, if Thierry Henry was to ever be crowned the world's best player, it would have surely been for his efforts in the 2002/03 campaign.

Although Arsenal came up short in the title race to Manchester United, the Frenchman became the first player in Premier League history to reach both 20 goals and assists in a single season.

Kevin De Bruyne - 20

Arguably the greatest midfielder in Premier League history, Kevin De Bruyne twice came within touching distance of Thierry Henry's record, registering 17 and 16 assists in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons, but after a sorely injury-hit 2018/19 campaign, the brilliant Belgian was back to his best in 2019/20, laying on a record-equalling 20 goals.

Mesut Ozil - 19

In his third season at Arsenal, Mesut Ozil found himself rediscovering his playmaking form that we became accustomed to at Real Madrid.

Remarkably, when Arsenal found themselves in a title race in 2015/16, the Gunners only scored 67 goals - the fewest times they'd found the net since the 2006/07 season - yet Ozil found himself with a hand in 19 of them.
