Over the years, the Premier League has witnessed the arrival of some of the best players from the USA, Mexico, and other parts of North America.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the standout performers from the region who have graced the English top flight, spanning goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards.
For the sake of clarity, we’ve also included players who were born in England but represented a North American country at the international level.
Claudio Reyna (USA)
Capped 112 times by the USA national team, midfielder Claudio Reyna spent six years in the Premier League, initially joining Sunderland for £4m from Rangers in 2001.
The former Bayer Leverkusen player made over 100 Premier League appearances, with the majority coming for Manchester City, where he moved following Sunderland’s relegation at the end of the 2002/03 season.
Craig Forrest (Canada)
Canadian goalkeeper Craig Forrest spent his entire playing career in England, where he’s best remembered for his time at Ipswich. Voted Player of the Year by teammates and supporters in 1995, the 56-cap custodian kept 24 clean sheets in 107 Premier League outings, also featuring for West Ham and Chelsea.
Kenwyne Jones (Trinidad & Tobago)
Towering Trinidadian striker Kenwyne Jones scored 40 Premier League goals for three different clubs, netting 26 of those for Sunderland, where he was voted 2007/08 Player of the Season.
Seemingly drawn to red and white striped jerseys, Jones had previously played for Southampton before joining Stoke City in 2010, where he added 13 more top-flight goals. He later scored once for Cardiff City in the Premier League.
Carlos Bocanegra (USA)
