List of foreign Premier League players information
See also: List of foreign Premier League goalscorers
This is a list of foreign players in the Premier League, which commenced play in 1992. The following players must meet both of the following two criteria:
Have played at least one Premier League game. Players who were signed by Premier League clubs, but only played in a lower league, cup, and/or European games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included.
Are considered foreign, i.e., outside the United Kingdom determined by the following:
A player is considered foreign if his allegiance is not to play for the national teams of England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
More specifically,
If a player has been capped at an international level, the national team is used; if he has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used. These include British players with dual citizenship.
If a player has not been capped at the international level, his country of birth is used, except for those who were born abroad from British parents or moved to the United Kingdom at a young age, and those who clearly indicated to have switched his nationality to another nation.
Clubs listed are those for which the player has played at least one Premier League game – and seasons are those in which the player has played at least one Premier League game. Note that seasons, not calendar years, are used. For example, "1992–95" indicates that the player has played in every season from 1992–93 to 1994–95, but not necessarily every calendar year from 1992 to 1995. Therefore, a player should always have a listing under at least two years – for instance, a player making his debut in 2011, during the 2011–12 season, will have '2011–12' after his name. This follows the general practice in expressing sporting seasons in the UK.
116 of the 207 foreign FIFA-affiliated nations have been represented in the Premier League. On 23 March 2024, Dominican Republic became the most recent country to be represented, when Junior Firpo was called up and played for Dominican Republic.
In bold: players who have played at least one Premier League game in the current season (2023–24), and are still at a club for which they have played. This does not include current players of a Premier League club who have not played a Premier League game in the current season.
For each country, the leading appearance-maker is indicated by the number of matches that he played in the Premier League.[1]
