Short answer: Erling Haaland is the most searched Premier League player on Google worldwide from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026, scoring 100 on Google Trends. Enzo Fernández (12.3), Marcus Rashford (11.5), Bruno Fernandes (10.2) and Bukayo Saka (9.5) follow. The index shows relative interest, not search counts.

Haaland first, then a long queue. Over the twelve months to 31 October 2026 Erling Haaland sits on 100, and Enzo Fernández in second place on 12.3 draws roughly an eighth of his interest. Add up everyone from second to tenth and the total is about 85, still short of Haaland on his own.

Fifty names made the cut from 150 measured: the best-known first-team players of all 20 clubs in the Premier League’s official 2026/27 squad lists. Players who have left the league are not in it, and a move away is mentioned below only where an official page confirms it.

A word on the unit. Google does not say how often a name is searched; Google Trends only compares names with one another. Haaland is the reference point at 100, so a player on 10 drew a tenth of the interest he did between 1 November 2025 and 31 October 2026. Nothing on this page is a count.

Who are the ten most searched Premier League players?

1. Erling Haaland

Haaland won the 2025/26 Golden Boot with 27 goals, his third in four seasons (Premier League), and led the league for goal involvements with 35, 27 goals and eight assists (Premier League stats). In the summer he scored seven goals in five World Cup matches for Norway, level with Jude Bellingham and behind only Kylian Mbappé (10) and Lionel Messi (8) in FIFA’s scorer list.

2. Enzo Fernández

A summer arrival at the top of the table: Manchester City signed Fernández from Chelsea on a five-year contract (Manchester City), so he now appears under City. His 12.3 is 0.8 ahead of Marcus Rashford in third.

3. Marcus Rashford

Rashford is in Manchester United’s 25-player 2026/27 squad, wearing number 9 (squad lists and squad numbers). United finished third in 2025/26 and are in the Champions League (Premier League). He sits just above his team-mate Bruno Fernandes.

4. Bruno Fernandes

Fernandes had the league’s standout individual season: 21 assists, a Premier League single-season record that Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne had shared, plus nine goals, the most chances created (136) and the EA SPORTS Player of the Season award (Premier League and stats leaders).

5. Bukayo Saka

Saka was part of the Arsenal side that won the 2025/26 title on 85 points, seven clear of City (Premier League). He reached 60 Premier League goals and 50 assists at 24 years 255 days, the second-youngest to do both after Wayne Rooney (Arsenal), then scored three goals and made three more in seven World Cup matches for England, who finished third (FIFA).

6. Kaoru Mitoma

Mitoma is Brighton’s only player in the fifty. His reading is level with Saka’s at 9.5, the two separated by less than a hundredth of an index point. Brighton ended 2025/26 in eighth place, which earned a Conference League spot (Premier League).

7. Emiliano Martínez

The highest goalkeeper by some distance: Donnarumma is 18th and Alisson 24th. Chelsea announced Martínez’s signing from Aston Villa at the end of August 2026 (Chelsea), so he is listed under Chelsea.

8. Virgil van Dijk

Van Dijk is the only defender in the top 29; the next, William Saliba, is 30th. Liverpool finished fifth, the last Champions League place (Premier League), and van Dijk won 216 duels, tied fifth-most in the league (stats leaders).

9. Cole Palmer

Palmer is one of five Chelsea players in the fifty, with Martínez, João Pedro, Estêvão and Caicedo. His 7.7 is level with Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres directly below him, the gap between them too small to show at one decimal.

10. Viktor Gyökeres

Gyökeres is Arsenal’s second name in the ranking, after Saka. Arsenal, champions in 2025/26 for the first time in 22 years, have nine names in the list, one fewer than City (Premier League).

Who comes next, from 11th to 25th?

The drop after the top ten is gentle: 7.6 for Declan Rice in 11th down to 4.7 for Alisson Becker (24th) and Alejandro Garnacho (25th). Manchester City and Liverpool have five players each in these fifteen places, Arsenal two, and Chelsea, Leeds United and Aston Villa one apiece. Leeds are represented by Ao Tanaka alone, 19th on 5.2.

Several carry official numbers from 2025/26. Rice was tied fourth for chances created with 63, and Dominik Szoboszlai second with 78 (Premier League stats). Rayan Cherki was runner-up to Fernandes for assists with 12 (Premier League), and Jérémy Doku completed more dribbles than anyone, 84. Gianluigi Donnarumma kept 15 clean sheets in his first English season and had the best save percentage, 72.12%. Cody Gakpo scored three World Cup goals for the Netherlands (FIFA). Antoine Semenyo, 16th, scored 17 goals, the third-highest total of the season, against an expected 11.09.

Phil Foden (5.9), Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak (both 5.8) sit in a tight block with Semenyo, and Szoboszlai is only three tenths below them. Martin Ødegaard, 21st on 5.1, is Arsenal’s fourth name in the list, after Saka, Gyökeres and Rice.

Which players fill places 26 to 50?

From 26th to 50th the whole range is 4.6 to 2.7, so the places are separated by tenths. Kai Havertz and Matheus Cunha share 4.6 and both scored three goals at the World Cup, for Germany and Brazil (FIFA). Igor Thiago, 40th, is Brentford’s only player in the list and was the league’s second-highest scorer with 22 goals (Premier League). Granit Xhaka, 43rd, is the lone Sunderland name; Sunderland finished seventh and are in the Europa League.

Manchester City’s other summer signings are Ayyoub Bouaddi (36th, from Lille) and Elliot Anderson (37th, from Nottingham Forest), while Jack Grealish (41st) is on a season-long loan at Everton (Premier League). Omar Marmoush (34th) is now at Tottenham, who have four players in the fifty. David Raya, 49th, was the league’s Golden Glove winner with 19 clean sheets, his third in a row (Premier League), and Moisés Caicedo (47th) made 59 interceptions, the joint-most.

Which clubs and positions dominate the list?

Four clubs hold 34 of the 50 places: Manchester City 10, Arsenal 9, Liverpool 8 and Manchester United 7. Chelsea add five, Tottenham four, Everton two, and Brighton, Leeds, Aston Villa, Brentford and Sunderland one each. Eight 2026/27 clubs have nobody in the top 50: AFC Bournemouth, Coventry City, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Hull City, Ipswich Town, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.

By position, 20 forwards and 18 midfielders make up three-quarters of the list; there are 7 defenders and 5 goalkeepers (Martínez 7th, Donnarumma 18th, Alisson 24th, Pickford 45th, Raya 49th). Add up the other 49 readings and the total is about 259, so the whole rest of the list together is only some two and a half times Haaland.

How was this ranking measured?

The figures come from Google Trends, using topics rather than plain keywords, so “Erling Haaland” and “Haaland” count as one. Everything is worldwide web-search interest for 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026, averaged weekly. Google compares five topics at a time, so the players were compared in groups of five against fixed anchor topics and chained into one scale, with Haaland at 100.

150 players were measured: the best-known first-team players of all 20 clubs, taken from the clubs’ official 2026/27 squad lists in the Premier League’s data feed on 1 November 2026. Saka and Semenyo are the exception to one rule: in the Premier League-only comparison they were always grouped with Haaland, which left their readings too small to use, so their values come from the worldwide comparison of the same period; the two comparisons share one anchor ladder and one scale, and Haaland reads identically in both. The list shows search interest, not quality, and its precision goes no further than the index.
