Former players from the Premier League are continuing to make a strong impact across Europe, with several featuring in an “elite XI” of top performers outside England.

The list, compiled by Planet Football, highlights players who have maintained high-level performances since leaving English clubs.

At the centre of the team is Thibaut Courtois, who has established himself as one of the world’s leading goalkeepers since departing Chelsea FC for Real Madrid.

The Belgian international has played a pivotal role in the Spanish club’s domestic and European successes, winning multiple league titles and UEFA Champions League trophies.

At left-back, Pervis Estupiñán earns a place in the team following his move from Brighton & Hove Albion to AC Milan, where he has begun to establish himself despite an inconsistent start.

In central defence, Dean Huijsen is also included, with the young defender attracting attention following his high-profile move, despite facing early challenges adapting to his new environment.

The selection underscores the continued global influence of the Premier League, with former players sustaining elite performance levels and contributing significantly to top clubs across Europe.
