Read MoreStats prove Manchester City star is Premier League’s most prolific goalscorer ever
A striker’s main goal on the pitch is scoring goals. However, some are much more prolific goalscorers than others. But who’s been the Premier League’s best striker in history, and who’s the best current striker? To both questions, there’s just one single answer: Sergio Aguero. The Argentine has scored a total of 95 league goals in 144 appearances for Manchester City. This translates in one goal per 110 minutes, with no player in Premier League history having a better ratio among strikers with at least 30 league goals since the…

Read MoreThis stat proves some Premier League star goal scorers are not ‘complete strikers’
If a football player wants to be called a star striker, he has to be able to score at any time, anywhere and against any opposition. One way to test this is how many goals a forward has scored at home and away. Some Premier League top scorers can be branded as ‘complete strikers’, as they balance their goals, while others only work their magic primarily in one place. It’s striking the three leading top scorers in the Premier League are all balanced once. Leicester’s Jamie Vardy has scored 16 goals in total,…
