Donate here to help give young people the opportunity of a better life
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.
This week our list of the 10 best forwards in the Premier League is powered by 90min’s ‘Football Tackles’ charity of the week: Sports 4 Life UK.

Zaha has shone this season / Warren Little/GettyImages
Wilfried Zaha’s return of 13 goals in 30 Premier League games this season is the best of his career.
His reward for that is a place on this list. Who need trophies?
Gabriel Jesus is on form / Visionhaus/GettyImages
Gabriel Jesus has cooled off a little after a recent resurgence, while Man City’s move for Erling Haaland has cast further doubt on his future (which his agent has since played up and revealed talks with Arsenal have occurred).

After a lot of internal canvases at 90min HQ (mainly by Graeme Bailey), Phil Foden has finally cemented his place on this list.
And he has because, well, he’s been brilliant in 2022.
Sterling is coming into some form / Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/GettyImages
With 13 goals to his name, Raheem Sterling is now the Premier League’s joint-highest scoring Englishman this season.
When did that happen?

After a rather poor start to 2022, the goals have really started flowing for CR7 in recent weeks.
He was rewarded for this upturn in form with April’s Player of the Month award.
Diaz is brilliant / OLI SCARFF/GettyImages
It didn’t take too long for Luis Diaz to get his name on this list, did it?
The Liverpool man has been outstanding since moving to the Premier League in January.
Kane’s performances are gradually improving this season / Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/GettyImages
A tumultuous summer didn’t seem to have done much for Kane’s goalscoring form this season.
And then he went and put in a career-best performance against Manchester City. Then he followed that up with starring roles against Leeds, Everton, West Ham, Brighton and Newcastle.
Mane is a massive threat to Liverpool / James Williamson – AMA/GettyImages
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 15 Premier League goals and winning the Africa Cup of Nations. Nice one.
Salah is Liverpool’s main man / Clive Brunskill/GettyImages
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.
Son is one of Tottenham’s most important players / Craig Mercer/MB Media/GettyImages
Despite Salah’s incredible performances, Son Heung-min has been the man in form as of late.
At the start of the season when it looked like Harry Kane could be on his way out of north London, Son stepped up to become Tottenham’s leading light.
With excellent returns across the last six seasons, the South Korean is one of the Premier League’s most reliable forwards, scoring an important goal in Spurs’ hard-earned draw at Liverpool.
