£10m Fulham player is ahead of Phil Foden and Trent Alexander-Arnold in one key statistic.
Andreas Pereira, a Fulham midfielder, leads the Premier League in chances created this season.
Fulham’s squad is composed of players that were let go by larger clubs.
Arsenal released Bernd Leno, Alex Iwobi, and Willian, while Harry Wilson failed to impress at Liverpool.
Tosin Adarabioyo came in from Manchester City, and Andreas Pereira arrived from Manchester United.
Fulham agreed to pay roughly £10 million to sign Pereira after he struggled to find a place at Manchester United.
Pereira has established himself as a major player at Fulham, and this season he is competing with some of the finest in the Premier League.
Andreas Pereira’s important passes.
Pereira is known as a creative player in the Fulham ranks, and his statistics back it up.
According to FBRef, Pereira has 58 critical passes this season, which are passes that lead directly to shots.
Bruno Fernandes leads the table with 74 vital passes, with Pascal Gross, Martin Odegaard, Kieran Trippier, Bukayo Saka, and Julian Alvarez close behind.
Then comes Pereira in eighth position, where the Fulham star competes with some of the Premier League’s greatest.
With 58 critical passes, Pereira leads Phil Foden by three and Trent Alexander-Arnold by five.
Pereira is also seven points ahead of West Ham United’s James Ward-Prowse, demonstrating the talent he brings to this Fulham team.
The Brazilian will have loved defeating his former club Manchester United last weekend, and he will be looking for a great finish to the season despite reports of interest from the Brazilian national squad.
While Pereira didn’t quite make it at United, he is proving his worth as a fine Premier League midfielder, with Fulham clearly benefiting.
