The Grueling Truth - Where Legends Speak / Top 5 Brazilians to Play in the Premier League

Top 5 Brazilians to Play in the Premier League

The best of the best
Publish Date: 01/16/2020
Fact checked by: Mike Goodpaster

The Premier League attracts some of the best – if not the best – soccer players in the world. Due to this attraction, the league has seen a number of different nationalities populate it and one country that has produced a large number of players in Brazil. Premier League fans are debating whether or not Liverpool can defeat Manchester United in their upcoming match. Premier League supporters can use the Michigan Lottery promo code to get a bet bonus before wagering on the team they believe will win the match between the two rivals. 

Brazil is one of the biggest producers of footballers in the world and top-notch Brazilian players are regularly on the wishlists of teams in the Premier League. Since the inception of the Premier League in 1992, some of Brazil’s best players have plied their trades in the English top flight. But which of those players can claim to be on the top 5 Brazilians to play in the Premier League list?

5) Alisson Becker – Liverpool

Alisson Becker only joined Liverpool in summer 2018, yet in his brief time on Merseyside, he has become the best goalkeeper in the world. Alisson greatly improved Liverpool’s defense and now, there is a sense of safety at the back in every match the Reds play. Alisson will be in goal when Liverpool take on the best in the Premier League this spring. Premier League fans can visit this website before Liverpool’s games for the latest bet bonuses and tips. The goalkeeper helped Liverpool finish second in the Premier League in 2018-19 and his saves enabled the Reds to win the Champions League.

4) Roberto Firmino – Liverpool

Roberto Firmino isn’t your typical No. 9. He is a hybrid attacking midfielder and striker that can create goals and score them in equal measure. Firmino makes Liverpool’s attack tick as he brings fellow attackers into play and unlocks goalscoring chances. In over 220 career matches for Liverpool, Firmino has tallied 75 goals and 56 assists.

3) David Luiz – Chelsea/Arsenal

There will be plenty of Premier League fans that disagree with David Luiz being included in a top 5 Brazilians to play in the Premier League list. However, Luiz’s longevity and trophy haul makes him a no-brainer. Luiz has won one Premier League title, two FA Cups, one Champions League, and one Europa League with Chelsea over the course of two stints with the club.

2) Juninho – Middlesbrough

Juninho will always be remembered for leading Middlesbrough to cup glory. He helped Middlesbrough win the 2003-04 League Cup and he played in six matches during the competition. Juninho spent two stints at Middlesbrough with his first coming in 1995 at the age of 22. It was at that time that Middlesbrough beat a host of suitors for the Brazilian’s signature paying Sao Paulo £4.75m for the player.

1) Fernandinho – Manchester City

Manchester City defensive midfielder Fernandinho is an obvious pick as the top Brazilian to play in the Premier League. Why? Fernandinho has had longevity in the league having signed for the Cityzens in 2013. He has also been a major part of their trophy-winning and a consistent performer in the division’s best team over the last five to 10 years. Fernandinho has won three Premier League titles and four League Cups since arriving at Manchester City.
