Several British players have begun to ply their trade abroad, and many of these expats are thriving at the moment. Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham are among those excelling at some of the continent's biggest clubs. Meanwhile, the likes of Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Angel Gomes are also starring in Europe, in Germany and France respectively.
Not too long ago, it was rare for British players to swap home soil for foreign turf. The majority of Brits opted to ply their trade in the Premier League or the Scottish Premiership, refraining from potential adventures abroad. However, in recent times, we've witnessed an increase in the number of footballers willing to reside on the continent, in the hope of discovering greener pastures.
Not feeling it would be a barrier to being selected for their national teams, the likes of Jadon Sancho, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham have all taken the leap successfully. Many others have followed suit, settling in Italy, Germany, Spain and elsewhere, all continuing their development away from the bright lights of the Premier League. With an established core of British footballing expats now excelling overseas, here are the top 10 performing players in this category based on this season so far.
