The Premier League is the most-watched soccer league in the world and is hugely popular in the United States of America due to the number of US soccer players plying their trade in the league.

On August 5, the 2022–23 season begins, and many Americans will be glued to their televisions or local bars to watch some of the best club soccer around. Despite a decline in American involvement over the past ten years, US soccer players have always found success in the Premier League.

Here are the eight top US soccer players on Premier League teams this season.

1. Christian Pulisic – Chelsea

Pulisic already has a Champions League and Club World Cup title to his name. The American has played 114 games for the Blues, scoring 25 goals and assisting 18 times.

Manchester City’s second-choice goalkeeper Zack Steffen comes second on the top US soccer players in the Premier League now. Although he is currently linked with a move away from Man City, Steffen has always been a backup to Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson. However, the American is searching for more playing time to get called into the USA world cup squad. Man City has already gotten a replacement for Zack Steffen and his departure from the club is just a matter of time.

3. Brenden Aaronson – Leeds United
