The Greatest Bulgarian Premier League Players Ever

Bulgarian players have been a rarity in the history of the English top flight. However, some stars have still had huge impacts on the English game. Bulgaria has produced prolific goalscorers as well as well-rounded midfielders that have been exported to England. But who are the greatest players from the Eastern European nation to have graced the Premier League stage?

Dimitar Berbatov stands comfortably alone as the greatest Bulgarian to ever play in the Premier League. He established legendary status in spells at Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United due to his consistent goalscoring record. In his time at Old Trafford, he won two league titles in the midst of Sir Alex Ferguson's glory days.

The forward played a key role in one of the greatest eras in Manchester United's history. In modern times, they are not the dominant force they used to be when Berbatov spearheaded the attack alongside Wayne Rooney and Co. In the betting on the Premier League, they are clear outsiders at odds of 12.00 to lift the league title next season. Premier League betting tips suggest that their neighbors Manchester City are the most likely winners, and United's ten-year league title drought is set to be extended. 

United lacks a natural goalscoring center-forward in their current setup under Erik Ten Hag. Wout Weghorst was brought in on loan in January, but he has failed to live up to expectations....
