The Premier League is home to some of the world's best attackers.
While attackers are of many types, their efficiency is often determined by their ability to contribute to goals. Many of the top English clubs have some of the world's best attackers in their ranks.
We've already seen several top players in action this season. While some of the usual suspects are there, we have seen some unexpected performers so far as well.
Let's take a look at the top five attackers in the Premier League this season.
#5. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Arsenal
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is arguably one of the top five strikers in England.
The Arsenal man had a relatively quiet season last time out, but seems to have bounced back ever since the start of the season. Aubameyang appears to have altered his playing style to suit Mikel Arteta's system and has been reaping the rewards for it.
The 32-year-old is well known for his blistering pace through the lines and his precise finishing. He won the Premier League Golden Boot in 2018-19 in his first full season in the Premier League, establishing his place among England's elite.
Aubameyang was on the receiving end of a lot of criticism after his outings last season. Many labeled the striker as 'finished' and 'ready for another chapter', but the Arsenal captain has since silenced his critics.
Aubameyang already has seven goals from nine appearances in all competitions this season. He still has a long way to go before he can achieve his numbers from before, but his progression is certainly indicative of that.
#4. Gabriel Jesus - Manchester City
Gabriel Jesus has become Manchester City's attacking lynchpin ever since the departure of Sergio Aguero this summer.
The Brazilian came into the role with fairly large shoes to fill and has been up to the task so far. Jesus is now a regular in Pep Guardiola's system despite his constant rotation policy and has thrived in the role this season.
Jesus has tended to operate on the wings for Manchester City this season. He has built quite a formidable attacking partnership with the likes of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.
The 24-year-old was formerly seen as an understudy for Kun Aguero, but has held his own so far this season. He already has three goals and five assists to his name this season in all competitions.
Pep Guardiola will be banking on Gabriel Jesus to perform as City look to retain their Premier League crown.
#3. Jamie Vardy - Leicester City
Jamie Vardy's rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric.
Originally from the lower tiers of English football, Vardy's career progression has been documented extensively in the past. He was a key member of Leicester City's title-winning run of 2015-16, a feat that is nothing short of a fairytale.
Vardy has demonstrated his goalscoring abilities ever since he set foot in the Premier League. Blessed with electric pace and excellent finishing, Vardy is a menace to the defenders in the league.
The 34-year-old has etched his name into Leicester's history books forever and continues to perform almost like he did on his first day for the club. Despite his age, Vardy continues to put up excellent numbers for the Foxes.
Vardy already has seven Premier League goals this season, taking second spot on the chart. His goalscoring contributions will be key to Leicester's success this season.
#2. Michail Antonio - West Ham United
Michail Antonio has been in sublime form ever since the start of the season.
While Antonio has always been recognized as a top striker, his goalscoring numbers were never as good as England's elite. Antonio seems to have taken it upon himself to become one of the best strikers in the league this season.
The Jamaican has been in fine form this season for West Ham. Antonio has already scored six goals in the Premier League, while also providing three assists in total. He also has a goal and an assist in the UEFA Europa League.
With David Moyes' side looking to replicate their success from last year, they can rest assured that the attack looks safe in Antonio's hands. Known for his powerful running and shooting ability, Antonio is an ever-present threat to defenders.
Antonio has formed a deadly attacking partnership with the likes of Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals and is leading West Ham to a successful season. With the Hammers currently 4th in the table, he will be looking to one-up his achievements from last season.
#1. Mohamed Salah - Liverpool
Mohamed Salah is arguably the best player in world football at the moment.
The Egyptian has been in stunning form this season for Liverpool. Salah is well known for his pace and finishing and has put his skills on display this season for Liverpool.
The 29-year-old has started off the season in style. Salah has already scored ten goals in nine Premier League appearances, while also providing five assists. He also has five UEFA Champions League goals in just three appearances.
It's fair to say that Salah has simply been unstoppable this season. He has already scored goals against Chelsea, Manchester City and a hat-trick recently against Manchester United. Salah looks set to break his own record for most goals in a single Premier League season (32).
Salah has already won the Premier League Golden Boot twice in the past, during his first and second seasons with Liverpool. He currently leads the charts for goals and would certainly take home the prize once again if he keeps up his form.
With Liverpool looking like serious contenders for both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, it is imperative that Salah continues to shine for the club.
