The Premier League is the most-watched football league in the world. The competition, which is rated as one of Europe's top-5 leagues, is renowned for being the toughest in the world because of the relentless pace of games and the physicality involved.
Despite its reputation for being a difficult league to play in, the Premier League has been graced by some of the best players in the sport.
Dan Burn (Newcastle United) - 201cm.
30-year-old English centre-back Dan Burn, who plies his trade for Newcastle, is currently the tallest active player in the Premier League.
Burn, who made 34 Premier League appearances for the Cottagers last season, helped his club escape relegation en route to a 15th-place finish.
While players require pace to beat opposition players, especially on the flanks, the Premier League also has no dearth of players with imposing physical presence who are difficult to beat in the air and are especially huge assets in defence.
