If there's a striker in the Premier League who deserves more appreciation, it has to be Leicester City's Jamie Vardy. Ever since joining the Foxes in 2012, the 34-year old has been amongst the goals on a consistent basis.

He scored 24 goals in the 2015-16 season when Leicester won the Premier League against all odds. Vardy's importance cannot be understated in helping the Foxes regularly challenge for a spot in Europe over the past few seasons.

Vardy looks in sensational form this season having scored six times in seven appearances in the Premier League. His performance remains key to Brendan Rodgers' aspiration to play in the UEFA Champions League next year.


#2 Michail Antonio (West Ham United)

Like Jamie Vardy, Michail Antonio, too, has come a long way in his career. The 31-year old Jamaican saw his career receive a massive boost while playing for Nottingham Forest in the Championship in the 2014-15 season.

It was then that West Ham United sought his signature and signed him in the summer of 2015. Ever since then, Antonio has more or less been a regular player for the Hammers. In his early days with the London club, he used to play as a winger but with time, the right-footed attacker has been converted into a striker.

Antonio has started brilliantly in the Premier League this season, scoring five goals and recording three assists in six games. His link-up with Said Benrahma has been a delight to watch and will be important for West Ham throughout the season.


#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)

There is almost nothing that Cristiano Ronaldo has not achieved in his football career. The Portuguese developed into one of the best players whilst playing at Manchester United in his first spell.

He then joined Real Madrid in 2009 and went on to achieve more success with time. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner stunned everyone by returning to Manchester United this summer. The move was surely bad news for the other Premier League clubs given the threat Ronaldo possesses in front of goal.

The 26-year old has had a very positive start to the season. He has scored thrice in four Premier League matches. Over time, Ronaldo is expected to only get better and continue to be the goal-scoring machine he is.
