The Premier League season is now five games old and whilst it is too early in the season to be making assumptions about who will finish where or who the stars of the show will be come the end of the campaign, it is still interesting to see how the statistics are shaping up at this early stage of the season.
So which Premier League player has had the most touches in the Premier League so far this season?
| Position | Team | Touches | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Henderson | MF | Liverpool | 469 | 5 | 450 |
| Idrissa Gueye | MF | Everton | 438 | 5 | 450 |
| Nacho Monreal | DF | Arsenal | 435 | 5 | 434 |
| Daniel Drinkwater | MF | Leicester | 432 | 5 | 439 |
| Ahmed Elmohamady | DF | Hull | 423 | 5 | 450 |
It is Liverpool’s midfield dynamo Jordan Henderson who has had the most touches of the ball this campaign. The England international has been in great form for the Reds this season, and has also completed the most passes in the division.
He beats Everton’s summer signing Idrissa Gana Gueye to the top spot and has clearly been heavily involved in all of Liverpool’s good work in the campaign so far.

The rest of the top five consists of Arsenal left-back Nacho Monreal, Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater and surprise entry Adam Smith of Bournemouth, Hull City’s in form winger Robert Snodgrass and Hull City right-back Ahmed Emohamady.
Liverpool fans will be hoping that Henderson can continue to thrive in this Liverpool midfield.
