The leading Hungarians in Premier League history; The top scorer and top clean sheet holder
Change language:
The Premier League has received an influx of some of Hungary’s biggest talents in recent times as the nation has threatened to make a significant mark on the English top flight, as it has done so in the past.
Only 12 Hungarians have ever made an appearance in England’s first division, but some of them have made huge impacts both domestically and at the continental level.
Here, we will look at the leading players from the Eastern European nation who have lined up for Premier League clubs since the competition’s inauguration in 1992. After all, in the coming years, their legacies could perhaps be bettered by the latest Hungarian imports.
Zoltán Gera
Zoltán Gera managed 17 goals in his time with West Bromwich Albion and Fulham, which makes him the most prolific Hungarian in the league’s history.
Gera was a huge factor behind much greater times with his former clubs than what they are experiencing now. West Brom is now a Championship team with an outside chance of promotion this season offered at 7/2 in football bets.
Fulham is still a top-flight team, but the Premier League odds suggest they could be pulled into a relegation battle this campaign, offered at 5/1 to face the drop.
The club’s Gera had past allegiances with are far from disaster at this stage, although he certainly inspired superior eras when he was a key part of their setups.

Gera was most famously part of the Fulham team that reached the UEFA Europa League final in 2009/10. He managed six goals and four assists in Europe to help the London club to one of their greatest-ever seasons.
He helped Fulham to eighth and ninth-placed finishes in the seasons after their remarkable European campaign. He was part of a strong squad that regularly sealed comfortable top-half finishes – a theme the club would love to replicate in the coming seasons.
