With the Premier League season well and truly underway, certain players are beginning to stand out from the crowd.
Let’s take a look at who we think have been the ten best forwards in the 2022/23 Premier League campaign so far…
Ordinarily, Aleksandar Mitrovic would have been a shoo-in for the top ten after reaching double digit Premier League goals for Fulham. The problem is he’s missed three penalties along the way, allowing the in-form Riyad Mahrez to muscle his way back into the mix.
Brentford’s main man missed their win against Liverpool, but he was crucial in London derbies with Tottenham and West Ham.
Rodrigo has ten goals this season. Where the hell did that come from?
Jack Grealish is usually the one making a fool of other players but he’s being made a fool of by Miguel Almiron this season. The man who the Man City player took the mick out of in May has been on fire recently, getting seven goals and an assist in his last eight games.
You should’ve never doubted him, Jack.
Gabriel Jesus’ knee injury was perceived by many to be disastrous to Arsenal’s title ambitions. Eddie Nketiah didn’t get the memo and is now a likely call-up to Gareth Southgate’s next England squad.
Kauro Mitoma becomes the latest in a long line of names signed by Brighton from seemingly out of nowhere to become an established Premier League player.
Not only that, the Japanese maestro is becoming a regular goalscorer too.
Bukayo Saka has played a huge role in Arsenal’s title challenge this season, and after a decent World Cup, people are waking up and seeing his huge talent.
Kane quietly continues to chip away at Alan Shearer’s Premier League goal record, despite all of the noise surrounding his future at Tottenham.
Marcus Rashford has been the Premier League’s best player since the World Cup break, and the only thing stopping him from breaking into the top two of these rankings are two scoring freaks.
Remember when people were speculating on Manchester City’s ability to accommodate Erling Haaland in their tactical setup? Remember the Darwin Nunez comparisons? Remember the Community Shield? Us neither.
