EA SPORTS that reveals the Premier League’s most successful crossers of the ball so far this season.

Despite West Ham getting off to an indifferent start in the Premier League, one area of success has been the effect of fullback Aaron Cresswell getting down their left flank. Cresswell tops the leaderboard for both total crosses attempted, 53, and successful crosses, 9. His total of 53 crosses represents a massive 15 more crosses than the next highest player, Cedric Soares on 38.

Even players with the best trying to make predictions won’t be able to come to terms that Cresswell is the league’s most successful crosser. Even the likes of Sanchez, Hazard, Sterling, Sane, Mane, Salah and others.
