Since the early 1990s, the Premier League has been home to many top midfielders, with Roy Keane being one of the most iconic players of that era. Keane played 475 games for Manchester United over 12-and-a-half years, winning multiple titles and earning a spot in the Premier League Hall of Fame.

Fernandinho, who was signed by City for around £30m in 2013, had a successful nine-year spell at the club, winning five Premier League trophies and making a significant impact.
