Roberto Firmino has never been known to score an insane number of goals in the Premier League, but his work off the ball has proved to be immensely important for Liverpool. Although Firmino may be a center-forward, his game has so much more to it.

With the likes of Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota taking individual plaudits, Firmino has quietly gone about business. The Brazilian’s vision and flair for an audacious pass have led to quite a few spectacular team goals. Firmino has a shot conversion rate of 27% this season.

Firmino has scored four goals and provided three assists in 13 Premier League appearances this season. The 30-year-old had missed a considerable chunk of the season due to injury but is up and running once again. Although he may not feature much in league games, Jurgen Klopp is sure to make use of his services in League Cup and FA Cup games.


#2 Patson Daka - 29%

Patson Daka signed for Leicester from Austrian side RB Salzburg at the start of the season. He was the top scorer for Salzburg in the 2020-21 season with 27 goals. Daka was also named the Austrian Bundesliga’s player of the season as the club won their fourth successive league title.

Daka has notched up an impressive shot conversion rate of 29% this season. He has scored four goals and provided three assists in nine Premier League appearances for Leicester. Daka is just 23 and has already displayed his goal scoring prowess to great success. Leicester fans will be delighted by the signing of the Zambian, who could potentially be Jamie Vardy's replacement.

The Foxes paid a fee of £23m for Daka which may prove to be a bargain. The 23-year-old hasn’t started very often for Brendan Rodgers, but will undoubtedly be a feature once he gains more Premier League experience.


#1 Hwang Hee-Chan - 40%

Hwang Hee-Chan signed for Wolves at the start of the season after making a loan switch from RB Leipzig. Hwang’s best performances have arguably come for RB Salzburg, for whom he has scored 45 goals and provided 30 assists in 129 appearances. He has also won four Austrian league titles with the club.

Hwang Hee-Chan has a shot conversion rate of 40%, which is the best in the League. The forward has won the hearts of Wolves fans with his performances on the pitch. Ther is a £14 million clause in his contract that can be activated to sign him permanently, and it is likely he will stay at Molineux.

Hwang Hee-Chan has scored four goals in 14 Premier League appearances for Wolves. The South Korean international has had injury problems of late and is reportedly sidelined for a few more weeks. Bruno Lage has been impressed by Hwang’s commitment and is looking to sign him permanently.
