England, home to the most celebrated footballing league on the planet, the Premier League, have produced some fine talents in recent years. From flying full-backs to extraordinary goal machines, the English national team have no shortage of outstanding performers.
Some of them have managed to exceed expectations this season, popping up with important goal contributions.
Today, we will take a look at five English footballers who have scored and assisted at will across the most respected European competitions.
Here are five England internationals with the most goal involvements in the 2021-22 season:
#5 Mason Mount (Chelsea) – 14 goal contributions
Chelsea youngster Mason Mount has been in impressive form in the Premier League this season, making a tangible difference with his goals and assists.
Under Thomas Tuchel, Mount has netted seven goals and provided six assists in the English top-flight this season, emerging as the Blues’ leading goal contributor. He also provided an assist in the second leg of Chelsea’s EFL Cup semi-final clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Even when the west London outfit hit a rough patch in late 2021, Mount managed to produce respectable performances on cue. He was always eager to influence the game, always eager to show why he is rated so highly.
His work rate, movement and leadership skills have caught everyone’s attention this season, making him one of the first names on Chelsea’s team sheet.
If he continues producing such performances over the next few months, he’s guaranteed to feature regularly for England at the World Cup later this year.
#4 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) – 16 goal contributions
Seeing Harry Kane on this list might come as a surprise, as the Tottenham Hotspur striker has not exactly been in top form in the league this season.
Fortunately for him, he has managed to make up for it by performing well in the first-ever iteration of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The centre-forward has 13 goals and three assists in all competitions this season, with six strikes and an assist coming in the Conference League alone.
Kane finished last season with 33 goals and 23 assists in 59 games across competitions. Most importantly, he was in top shape in the English top-flight, scoring 23 times and providing 18 assists for the north London outfit.
His extraordinary form in front of goal drew interest from Manchester City and he was determined to force a move through last summer.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, however, kept him from joining the reigning Premier League champions, which ultimately took a toll on Kane’s on-field displays.
Antonio Conte’s appointment has improved the England skipper’s psyche, allowing him to be more expressive in front of goal.
Whether his newfound positivity will propel Tottenham to a top-four finish in the Premier League remains to be seen.
#3 Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) – 17 goal contributions
In 2022, no conversation about attack-minded defenders can be completed without paying homage to Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The right-back is arguably the best player in his position right now and has drawn praise from every football pundit worth their salt.
From scoring outrageous goals to providing inch-perfect crosses, the Englishman has done it all this season. The Liverpool academy graduate has scored twice and provided 15 assists in 25 appearances in all competitions. Both of his goals and 10 assists came in the Premier League.
His impressive tally has not helped the Reds be in the title race but has also made him the league’s leading assist-provider. Fellow Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah (9) and Andrew Robertson (8) occupy the second and third positions, respectively.
#2 Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United) – 19 goal contributions
West Ham United have emerged as a dark horse in the Premier League's top-four race this season. Almost every single West Ham player has exceeded expectations, allowing them to take the fight to some of the best teams in the business.
While Michael Antonio has been the Hammers’ standout goalscorer, Jarrod Bowen leads the chart in overall goal contributions.
The Englishman operates as a right-winger for the London outfit and loves to cut in from wide areas. He has an eye for goal but is selfless enough to pass the ball when a teammate is in a better position.
The 25-year-old’s intelligent play has seen him rack up nine goals and 10 assists in 32 appearances in all competitions this season.
Out of his 19 goal involvements, 15 - six goals and nine assists - have come in the Premier League.
#1 Tammy Abraham (AS Roma) – 21 goal contributions
From struggling for opportunities at Chelsea to being AS Roma’s best performer, Tammy Abraham has come a long way over the last few months.
Under the great Jose Mourinho, Abraham seems to have unlocked his best self, producing match-winning performances on a consistent basis in Italy.
Playing in Mourinho’s pragmatic system, Abraham has had to put in a defensive shift, of course, but that hasn’t taken away his explosiveness up top.
This season, Abraham has featured in 30 games for Roma across competitions, registering 17 goals and four assists. In Serie A, he has pitched in with ten goals and three assists for the Giallorossi.
The Englishman is currently the sixth-leading goalscorer in the Italian top-flight, sitting seven goals adrift of joint-leaders Dusan Vlahovic and Ciro Immobile.
