When it comes to listing the most prolific attackers in the Premier League at the moment, there is no way one can ignore Arsenal striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from the list. Ever since he left the Bundesliga for the Emirates in the winter of 2018, the Premier League defenders have had a hard time trying to stop the Gabonese international.

Last season’s joint top scorer has continued from where he left off last year. He is scoring a goal every 90 minutes. He has scored 7 goals in the 630 minutes he has played in this season and with the likes of Nicolas Pepe and Mesut Ozil making goals for him, he could score even more than he did last term.

Aubameyang is a man on a mission in the EPL this season. Given his explosive start, it should not come as a surprise if he eventually tops the list at the end of the campaign.

#3 Teemu Pukki

Teemu Pukki is a name that most people did not know about last season since he was playing in the Championship. Now, he has taken the Premier League by storm with his incredible exploits in front of goal.

Converting every 104 minutes is a very good achievement for a striker, especially in the Premier League. What is more astonishing is the fact that he plays for Norwich City. Without taking anything away from them, it will take a lot of persuasion and enticing for them to keep hold of the striker if he continues at this rate.

Teemu Pukki has 6 goals to his name in 7 appearances in EPL so far this season - which ranks him among the most prolific attackers in the division at the moment. It'd be really interesting to see where he'd finish in the race for the Golden Boot.
