There are 15 Argentine players who will take part in the Premier League this season.
Aston Villa and Chelsea have the most Argentine players in their teams, each team with three. Reigning Premier League champions Arsenal do not have an Argentine player on the team but Gabriel Heinze is part of the coaching staff.
Here are the Argentine players in the Premier League:
Aston Villa: Alejandro Garnacho, Emiliano Buendía and Emiliano Martínez
Bournemouth: Julio Soler
Chelsea; Aarón Anelsmino, Enzo Fernández and Valentín Barco
Crystal Palace: Walter Benítez
Everton: Charly Alcaraz
Liverpool: Alexis Mac Allister
Manchester City: Claudio Echeverri and Gerónimo Rulli
Manchester United: Lisandro Martínez
Nottingham Forest: Nicolás Domínguez
Tottenham Hotspur: Marcos Senesi
And today’s game is an indication why no Argentinian player should EVER join Tottenham Hotspurs lol
A mediocre team that never fails in inspiring mediocrity in its players. Senesi was idiotic going there.
The AFA should quickly secure the services of Carlos Diez and Tresoldi. Both are very talented and Argentina need them badly. Remember when Italy stole Mauro Camoranesi?
Still unable to digest on what happened to us in the World Cup Final.
.
Just to divert our attention and draw us once again to a great legend who if he would have played for the NT would have……. Again a ‘what if’ that follows the NT as a shadow.

El Trinche, Argentina’s cult enigma at the heart of a national team myth
.
According to L’Équipe, a new long-read revisits Tomas Carlovich, known as El Trinche, the 1970s Argentine icon whose legend includes a disputed refusal to join the national team.
.
In Rosario, murals still honour him. Adored by Marcelo Bielsa and hailed by Diego Maradona as the world’s best player, he played only four top-flight matches, dazzled with the double nutmeg and valued calm over sprint.
.
In 1976, César Luis Menotti, charmed by friendly displays, is said to have called him up. Menotti later recounted that Carlovich was reportedly stranded on an island by a high river and could not return, and he lamented a great talent who never fully showed it.
.
Others insist Carlovich chose fishing over representing Argentina, a version he rejected. His son Bruno, who died recently, believed he was never contacted and said he would have been told if his father had refused.
.
Carlovich died in 2020, and the stories remain unresolved. Those who crossed his path still speak of elegance, audacity and artistry, with José Pekerman likening him to an artist confined behind bars.
