Romelu Lukaku has been a prolific scorer in the Premier League. He has scored over 100 goals in the competition for four different clubs.

Now playing for Champions League holders Chelsea, Lukaku has hit the ground running on his return to the Blues after almost a decade. The former Inter Milan striker scored in Chelsea's win over Arsenal and netted a brace against Aston Villa two games later.

Although he has drawn a blank in his last four games, it's only a matter of time before the 2020-21 Serie A winner returns to scoring ways. Despite Lukaku's lean run, Chelsea are atop the Premier League table after eight games.


#2 Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) - 125 goals

Jamie Vardy is one of the feel-good stories of the Premier League. After playing non-league football just a decade ago, Vardy played a key role in Leicester City's fairy-tale triumph in the 2015-16 Premier League. The striker scored 24 league goals that campaign and hasn't looked back since.

Aging like fine wine, Vardy has scored at least 13 goals in each of his next five Premier League campaigns. In 2019-20, the Englishman scored 23 times to win his first Golden Boot. That campaign, Vardy also brought up his 100th goal in the English top flight.

The 34-year-old has started his 2021-22 campaign on a tear, having already scored seven times in eight games.


#1 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) - 167 goals

Harry Kane is one of the most prolific goalscorers in Premier League history. The Tottenham Hotspur striker has scored 167 goals in the competition, all for his current club.

Last season, the 28-year-old brought up his 150th Premier League strike, helping Spurs to a win at West Bromwich Albion. In one of his career-best seasons, Kane scored 23 times and also provided 14 assists to top both leaderboards in the 2020-21 campaign. However, Spurs only finished a lowly seventh despite Kane's blistering exploits.

Ad

Kane has endured a slow start to his 2021-22 campaign, scoring only once in seven games. However, he is widely tipped to break Sergio Aguero's record (184 goals) to become the most prolific Premier League goalscorer for a single club.

Whether that happens this season remains to be seen though, after an offseason that almost saw Kane exit the club.
