5) Federico Fernandez (Swansea and Newcastle) – 184 apps
Probably a surprise inclusion on this list for some but the defender has now been playing in the Premier League for six and a half years since he was signed by Swansea from Napoli for €10m.
After spending four seasons in South Wales, Fernandez made the switch to Newcastle in 2018 following the Swans’ relegation to the Championship and he has been a first-team regular for the Magpies.
