Raheem Sterling has been in the Premier League for a decade. But he has only blossomed into a world-class winger and prolific scorer since his move to Manchester City in the summer of 2016.

After four quiet Premier League campaigns with Liverpool, Sterling has scored nearly 80 times in the competition for holders City. He has endured a slow start to his current campaign, though, scoring only once in eight games.

However, the Euro 2020 finalist with England has contributed massively to City's three Premier League triumphs in the last four years. Sterling has scored 45 goals and also provided 35 assists in this time. Although he scored a career-best 20 goals in the 2019-20 campaign, City were beaten to the Premier League title by a rampant Liverpool side.


#5 Sadio Mane (Liverpool) - 100 goals

Sadio Mane has been the epitome of consistency in the Premier League. The Senegal international has scored at least ten goals in each of his last seven campaigns in the competition, five of them with Liverpool.

Mane has had a good start to his 2021-22 campaign, scoring five times in eight games. His latest strike in the competition took the 29-year-old winger to 100 Premier League goals, a milestone achieved by only two other African players.

The former Southampton winger played a key role in Liverpool's triumphant 2019-20 Premier League campaign, bagging 18 goals and nine assists.


#4 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - 104 goals

Mohamed Salah, on current form, is one of the best players in the game.

In only his fifth season at the club, the Liverpool winger has already scored over 100 Premier League goals for the Reds. His two other goals in the competition came during a forgettable stint with Chelsea, where he was deemed surplus to requirements.

It is fair to say Salah has played a huge role in the resurgence of Liverpool as a force to be reckoned with in England and Europe. The 29-year-old started his 2021-22 campaign on a tear, becoming the first player to score in five consecutive Premier League opening-day games. Two months later, he is already up to seven goals for the season.

Earlier this season, Salah emulated Didier Drogba to become only the second African player to score 100 times in the Premier League. The two-time Golden Boot winner bagged 19 goals and ten assists in Liverpool's 2019-20 Premier League-winning campaign.
