Manchester United have seen an unmistakable downturn in fortunes over the past few years. Despite the disappointments and calculations, Marcus Rashford is a talent that refuses to give up. The English striker started his career as a winger and while he is still able to play that role, his recent performances have seen him blossom into a talented striker.

Rashford displays incredible intelligence on the ball and is capable of stepping up for the Red Devils on the biggest of stages. The striker's sheer ability on the ball means that he is well on his way to becoming one of the Premier League's best strikers.


#6 Tammy Abraham

Most pundits and fans had completely ruled Chelsea out as a viable force at the start of the 2019-20 season. The Blues were reeling under a transfer ban and were banking almp=ost entirely on their young stars to bail them out of a sticky situation.

Enter Tammy Abraham, the sixth player on our list of the best Premier League strikers. The forward made a name for himself at Swansea City but several fans were sceptical of his ability to play at Chelsea.

Frank Lampard has transformed the young talent into a dangerous and complete striker. Tammy Abraham has since put in excellent shifts to give Chelsea a realistic chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

At number eight on our list of best Premier League strikers in Southampton star Danny Ings. The English forward secured a permanent move away from Liverpool last season. Ings struggled to make a mark at Merseyside due to injury concerns.

At Southampton, however, Danny Ings has been a beacon of hope so far this season. The striker's 15 goals have made up for his side's shoddy defending. The Southampton forward has made a statement with his performances and is one of the best Premier League strikers this season.


#9 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Calvert-Lewin has been sensational for Everton

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's rise as one of the best Premier League strikers is astonishing when you realise that the youngster was playing in the League One only four years ago. The English striker has become Everton's talisman under Carlo Ancelotti and occupies the ninth position on our list of the best Premier League strikers.

Calvert-Lewin has scored 13 goals this season and has led from the front as Everton try to establish themselves as more than just a mid-table club.


#10 Teemu Pukki

Teemu Pukki has been Norwich City's only bright spot

Given Norwich City's travesty of a season so far, Teemu Pukki may not be on a list of the best Premier League strikers for very long. The fault, however, lies entirely with his club. Despite Norwich City's failures in defence and the club's near-certain relegation, Teemu Pukki has announced himself as one of the best Premier League strikers this season.

Norwich City may not last long in the Premier League, but Teemu Pukki's 11 goals for the struggling side will not have gone unnoticed.
