10 Best Strikers in the Premier League (Ranked)
- Right now, the Premier League is packed with some top-tier strikers, and guys like Erling Haaland are really making a mark both locally and in European matches.
- Haaland’s been smashing records left and right, and his knack for putting the ball in the net easily makes him the top striker in the Premier League.
- Even though Gabriel Jesus has been doing great since joining Arsenal last summer, he’s still only ranking seventh among center-forwards in the league.
Throughout the years, the English top flight has seen its fair share of exceptional center-forwards. Names like Alan Shearer, Luis Suarez, and Didier Drogba instantly spring to mind when reflecting on the most remarkable goal-scorers in the sport.
Currently, the Premier League boasts some exceptional talent in its forward positions. Without a doubt, Erling Haaland stands out as one of the top goal scorers globally, gracing the league with his incredible skills. However, it’s important to recognize other players who have showcased their prowess in front of goal, like Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney, during the 2023–24 season.
With such talent on display, it begs the question: Who are the top 10 forwards in the Premier League now?
