#3 Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo switched to the Premier League during the summer transfer window. He left Juventus to seal a sensational return to Manchester United. The Portuguese has wasted no time in making his impact felt, with his decisive performances in front of goal.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner struck twice in his first appearance - a 4-1 triumph over Newcastle United in September.
Following that, he found the back of the net once again in his next outing with West Ham United. Ronaldo scored the winner that secured three vital points for his team.
Unfortunately, the Red Devils' struggles in the Premier League has affected Cristiano Ronaldo's returns in front of goal. But the Portuguese has managed to bag a goal and two assists across his last three appearances in the English top flight.
He will seek an immediate improvement on his return of just one goal in his last seven Premier League games, though.
#2 Sadio Mane
Sadio Mane continues to be a vital player in Jurgen Klopp's team at Anfield, with his eye-catching displays in front of goal. The Senegalese has had an explosive start to the Premier League season. Mane has tormented opposition defences on the left flank, and scored consistently to aid the Reds' title charge.
The attacker currently ranks second on the list of the Premier League's top scorers for the 2021-22 campaign. So far, he has recorded an impressive tally of seven goals to his name in 12 appearances. Mane is well-poised to fight for the Premier League Golden Boot award come the end of the campaign.
#1 Mohamed Salah
The Egyptian is, without doubt, the most potent finisher in the Premier League at the moment. In fact, considering his spectacular performances since the campaign kicked off, it wouldn't be far-fetched to name him the best player in the world right now.
Mohamed Salah is currently in a league of his own when it comes to ranking the favourites to win the Premier League Golden Boot award this season. As things stand, the diminutive forward ranks first on the list of top scorers in the English top flight. Salah has scored 11 goals in 12 appearances.
The Egyptian has proven his big-game pedigree by scoring against the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal this term.
Only time will tell how many goals he will end up scoring by the end of the ongoing Premier League campaign.
