Top 10 Best Passers in the Premier League 2024/25

The Premier League has the best passers in recent history, such as Paul Scholes, Xabi Alonso and David Beckham.

Now, the percentage of pass completion is now an important part of modern data-driven analytics, with more and more managers adopting a own-based style.

But, in the 2024/25 season, who is statistically the best passer in England’s top flight? Using the data from Football Analytics website FBREF, we list the top 10 Premier League players by passing completion rate. (Note: Players must participate in each game for at least 30 minutes before they can be calculated.)

Correct data as of May 25, 2025

This is a detailed introduction to the top ten Premier League passers in 2024/25…

10

Jack Stephens (Southampton)

92% completed

Southampton defender Jack Stephens, though the centre-back only started to get injured 17 times.

He remained in the top 10 at the end of the season, in the process he led the Premier League champion captain Virgil Van Dijk.

9

Leny Yoro (Man UTD)

92.4% completed

United may have endured a horrible season, but one of the brighter elements of the campaign could be in the form of Leny Yoro’s appearance in the first squad.

The Frenchman spent some time making his mark at Old Trafford after being injured shortly after signing, but ended one of the seasons due to his 19-year-old.

Interestingly, another new signing is United’s second best passer Matthijs de Ligt, who averaged 89.9% of the success passes in 2024/25.

8

Mateo Kovacic (People City)

92.6% completed

Mateo Kovacic was much more injured at the Atihad Stadium and had more time to play against Man City than last season. He seized the opportunity, both in the form of scoring goals and in a comprehensive global game.

As expected by Guardiola’s side, Kovacic played a major role in the ball without Rodri.

7

Jan Bednarek (Southampton)

92.7% completed

Southampton’s all-based style has put Saints centre-back Jan Bednarek into the top ten.

The Saints may not have enough board points, but Bednarek’s pass completion rate is a rare positive sign in St. Mary.

6

Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa)

92.9% completed

Aston Villa’s defender Ezri Konsa has been a regular at Unai Emery and offers versatility to play at right and center backs.

The British has made more than 200 appearances for Villa now and is clearly comfortable.

5

Andre (Wolf)

92.9% completed

It can be said that one of the surprise names on the roster is Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Andre.

The Brazilian midfielder arrived from Fluminense before the 2024/25 season but was not a nail starter under Gary O’Neil. He has been in and out of the starting lineup, but started more regularly under Vitor Pereira, during which time it showed his true value to San Francisco.

4

Curtis Jones (Liverpool)

93.1% completed

One player he played in the Arne seat in his first season as a Liverpool manager was midfielder Curtis Jones.

Jones has the best pass completion rate among any Reds star and has started 19 games last semester with the rise of the first team.

3

Man City

93.5% through completion

Another city star on the list is Ruben Dias, who is the mid-level tay of Manchester City.

Dias has found himself half of the Premier League due to his dominance and has retained possession for most of the ball. In fact, the centre-backs in both cities were excellent last semester…

2

Manuel Akanji (Manchester City)

93.6% of the pass completed

Last season, the top city passer was Manuel Akanji, who occasionally got shot from right back when he was injured at Etihad Stadium.

The Swiss international appears to have played the central defender role under Pep Guardiola, becoming a trusted player without John Stones and Nathan Ake, especially on the ball, if those stats are worth passing.

1

William Saliba (Arsenal)

94.3% completed

The top spot in the season is Arsenal star William Saliba, with more than 94%.

For the Gunners under Mikel Arteta, it was Saliba’s position at the top of the game, for some time. Part of the reason is the calmness he has, which is proven by his high success rate.
