The Premier League's Most Hardworking Player According To Stats

When you think of the Premier League's most hardworking players, the likes of N'Golo Kante and James Milner spring to mind.

The two are renowned for their engines and both display incredible fitness and workrate to get around the pitch on a regular basis.

However when it comes to stats, neither of the two are the top dog for distance covered in the Premier League.

That's because Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson has covered the most ground in the top flight this season, with an impressive 318.2km so far this term.

Sigurdsson isn't just about running around though and has showcased his technical qualities this season.

At present, the Iceland international is at the top of the assist charts, with 11.

Playmakers Kevin De Bruyne, Christian Eriksen and Alexis Sanchez are all behind him as far assists go.

The former Spurs man really is having a fine season and if Swansea do avoid relegation, they owe a lot to their main man Gylfi.

What are your thoughts on Sigurdsson as a player? Is he underrated?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
