Which players have scored the most Premier League goals in the 21st century? Over the past 20 or so years, us Premier League addicts have seen vast amounts of attacking talent pass through England’s top-flight.
But who, among all of them, were truly the most relentless finishers we’ve seen to date? Well, where to start? Given we’re only considering goals that were scored after the turn of the millennia, players like Alan Shearer – who scored most of his goals prior to 2000 – will most likely be hampered in his overall finishing position, despite being the league’s all time top scorer.
Thierry Henry, who fans recently voted the greatest player to ever do it on UK shores, is an obvious candidate you would expect to be right up there.
Likewise, Didier Drogba, who is renowned as one of the most fearsome forwards of his era. Wayne Rooney remains to this day England and Manchester United’s highest scorer ever, so we’d go as far as to suggest that Wazza is an absolute banker.
