Top 10 Premier League Strikers: Ranking the Best Goalscorers

Finding a reliable goalscorer is crucial for success in the Premier League, but truly elite strikers are rare. While scoring may seem simple, players like Lukaku and Hojlund have shown how challenging it can be to consistently find the net in England’s top flight.

However, some forwards have built their careers on being clinical finishers in the Premier League. As the margins for success get tighter, these goalscorers become invaluable assets for their clubs.

We’ve compiled a list of the 10 best strikers in the league, considering factors like total goals, conversion rate, and goals per 90 minutes. We’ve also accounted for the difficulty of scoring at different clubs.

So without further ado, here are the top 10 Premier League strikers ranked (stats as of February 17, 2025):

10. Raul Jimenez (Fulham)

9 goals, 179 minutes per goal

The Mexican striker has been crucial in Fulham’s push for European qualification, scoring 9 goals and providing 3 assists. While his conversion rate of 13% is the lowest on this list, his overall impact and work rate have been vital for the Cottagers.

9. Kai Havertz (Arsenal)

9 goals, 205 minutes per goal

The German forward has shown flashes of brilliance for Arsenal, netting 9 times before a season-ending injury. However, some high-profile misses have highlighted Arsenal’s need for a more clinical finisher if they hope to challenge for major trophies.

8. Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)

10 goals, 186 minutes per goal

At just 21 years old, the former Manchester City youth product has been a revelation for newly-promoted Ipswich. With 10 goals in his debut Premier League campaign, Delap has attracted interest from top clubs and could be in line for an England call-up if he maintains his form.

7. Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)

11 goals, 178 minutes per goal

The French striker has been in excellent form for Crystal Palace, scoring 11 goals at an impressive rate of one every 178 minutes. His performances have been crucial in Palace’s solid mid-table position this season.
