The Premier League and iconic strikers go hand in hand. Thierry Henry. Alan Shearer. Ruud van Nistelrooy. The list goes on and on.

There’s no shortage of lethal goalscorers in England’s top flight right now, either.

So, shall we rank the Premier League’s top ten forwards on current form? Let’s get into 90min’s placings…

Jarrod Bowen has gone to another level in 2022.

The West Ham has bagged himself six goals since the turn of the year, and is almost single-handedly keeping the Hammers right in the thick of the top four race.

It can be hard to truly recognise the brilliance of Manchester City’s attackers at times – mainly because of how many stars they have in their ranks – but the one who is shining most brightly right now is Riyad Mahrez.

The Algerian has a wand of a left foot and his goalscoring returns have been reliable year on year at the Etihad.

Now that Jadon Sancho is actually playing for Manchester United, it turns out that he’s actually very, very good.

Who’d have thought it?

At the start of the season when it looked like Kane could be on his way out of north London, Son Heung-min stepped up to become Tottenham’s leading light.

An injury has kept him out recently but with excellent returns across the last six seasons, the South Korean is one of the Premier League’s most reliable forwards.

It hasn’t been a season for truly prolific goalscoring as of yet, but Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in the summer and has shown little sign of slowing up when it comes to hitting the back of the net.

No, he doesn’t press from the front, but that’s not really why the Red Devils signed him. The Portugal was brought in to provide a goal threat, and he’s still doing that.

A tumultuous summer didn’t seem to have done much for Harry Kane’s goalscoring form this season.

And then he went and put in a career best performance against Manchester City last weekend.

An all-time great performance from an all-time great Premier League striker.

Raheem Sterling looks truly back to his best this season, marking his return to the Man City starting XI with a number of brilliant performances.

The standout one being the hat-trick vs Norwich City.

Liverpool knew they were getting an excellent player when they brought in Diogo Jota from Wolves last season, but did they think he’d be this good?

Probably not. Jota has already bettered his league goal tally from last season this time around and will most likely add a bucketload to the 12 strikes he’s rattled in so far.

11 league goals last season was a bit of a disappointing return for Sadio Mane, which shows just how far he’s progressed at Anfield in recent years.

He looks back to his best this season however, having already bagged 11 Premier League goals and winning the AFCON. Nice one.

There can’t be any debates about top spot here, right? Mohamed Salah has been truly incredible since joining Liverpool from Roma in 2017, putting up terrifying numbers year after year, and he seems to only be getting better.

The Egyptian can score all types of goals and is the star attraction in an excellent Reds side. Right now, there’s nobody in the Premier League who can touch him.
