Rice is currently five ahead of Martin Odegaard\u2019s caps haul for Norway.<\/p>\n<h2>Aston Villa \u2013 John McGinn<\/h2>\n<p>The Scotland midfielder is on 83 Scotland caps, narrowly ahead of Youri Tielemans\u2019 total for Belgium.<\/p>\n<h2>Bournemouth \u2013 Ryan Christie<\/h2>\n<p>Another Scotland midfielder leads the way for Bournemouth, with USA\u2019s Tyler Adams the closest to Christie.<\/p>\n<h2>Brentford \u2013 Jordan Henderson<\/h2>\n<p>The England midfielder is way out in front on 88 caps but only five have been earned as a Brentford player.<\/p>\n<h2>Brighton \u2013 Ferdi Kadioglu and Kaoru Mitoma<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s tight at the top of the Seagulls list with Kad\u0131oglu and Mitoma neck and neck on 29 caps for Turkey and Japan respectively. Coming up close behind is Bart Verbruggen with his 27 Netherlands caps.<\/p>\n<h2>Burnley \u2013 Kyle Walker<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s 96 and out with England for Walker, with the recent international retiree 33 ahead of Connor Roberts\u2019 total for Wales. Though all of Walker\u2019s caps were earned before he moved to Turf Moor.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea \u2013 Moises Caicedo<\/h2>\n<p>The Ecuador midfielder (59 caps) and Enzo Fernandez are the only Blues with over 25 international caps.<\/p>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"1ffbae35d432d0d71911ca2a0b209fbb\" image-id=\"prsicvMRyUrS\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Crystal Palace \u2013 Ismaila Sarr<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Of all the clubs in Europe\u2019s top five leagues, only Manchester City and PSG have more international call-ups than Palace for this break, with Sarr the Eagles\u2019 most capped on 80 for Senegal. In contrast to Chelsea, Palace have eight players on 25 or more caps.<\/p>\n<h2>Everton \u2013 Idrissa Gueye<\/h2>\n<p>Gueye and Sarr have over 200 Senegal caps between them, with the Everton midfielder on 128 as his nation\u2019s most-capped player, though Sadio Mane is running him close.<\/p>\n<h2>Fulham \u2013 Raul Jimenez<\/h2>\n<p>The Cottagers\u2019 internationals are an experienced bunch, with eight on 50 or more caps. Jimenez has 123 but is only now closing in on Mexico\u2019s top 10.<\/p>\n<h2>Leeds United \u2013 Jaka Bijol<\/h2>\n<p>Bijol will win his 70th cap assuming he features in either of Slovenia\u2019s friendlies with Hungry and Montenegro during this break.<\/p>\n<h2>Liverpool \u2013 Mo Salah<\/h2>\n<p>Salah is on 65 goals in 113 games for Egypt. When he leaves, Andrew Robertson (90 for Scotland) and Virgil van Dijk (89 for Netherlands) are vying to become Liverpool\u2019s most-capped.<\/p>\n<h2>Manchester City \u2013 Mateo Kovacic<\/h2>\n<p>Kovacic\u2019s 111 caps for Croatia is just ahead of Bernardo Silva\u2019s 107 for Portugal. City could be waving off both this summer.<\/p>\n<h2>Manchester United \u2013 Bruno Fernandes<\/h2>\n<p>The United skipper, on 85 Portugal caps, is just ahead of the departing Casemiro\u2019s total of 83 for Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE: Spurs ahead of Arsenal but Man Utd still the most capped Premier League club<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Newcastle United \u2013 Emil Krafth<\/h2>\n<p>The Sweden defender is the only Toon player on more than 50 caps, ahead of Bruno Guimaraes on 41. Newcastle will wave off one and might lose the other.<\/p>\n<h2>Nottingham Forest \u2013 Chris Wood<\/h2>\n<p>Forty-five goals in 88 caps for the New Zealand striker. He needs one more appearance to become his country\u2019s most capped.<\/p>\n<h2>Sunderland \u2013 Granit Xhaka<\/h2>\n<p>Fifteen years on the international scene and 144 appearances for Switzerland\u2019s most-capped player.<\/p>\n<h2>Tottenham Hotspur \u2013 Ben Davies<\/h2>\n<p>Bang on 100 caps for the Wales defender, who was honoured before their World Cup play-off versus Bosnia. He needs 12 more to beat Gareth Bale\u2019s record.<\/p>\n<h2>West Ham United \u2013 Tomas Soucek<\/h2>\n<p>Soucek has amassed 88 caps in the 10 years since his Czechia debut.<\/p>\n<h2>Wolves \u2013 Hwang Hee-chan<\/h2>\n<p>The South Korea striker has 16 goals in 75 international appearances but none in the last year.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<p><script>\n        !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n        {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n        n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n        if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n        n.queue=();t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n        t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)(0);\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n        'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n        fbq('init', '1399787394855675');\n        fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    <\/script><script>\n        !function(e,n,t){var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)(0);e.getElementById\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool and Manchester City could lose a lot of international experience this summer, and so too might Manchester United if they are daft enough to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
