Premier League is the most watched professional sport league in the world and that too by far compared to other major sport competitions and thats widely down to how global the premier league brand has become in the last 20 years. Premier League clubs have diversed squads and players of different nationalities, race and religion. In the last 10 years number of Muslim footballers has increased in the premier League and with that comes the month of “Holy Ramadan” where some of the Muslim players are fasting which means premier league managers has to look after those players in a different way to keep them fit and today we take a look at Muslim footballers who are playing in premier league at the moment.
