#2 Wayne Rooney - 208 goals

Everton v Swansea City - Premier League
Wayne Rooney

Wayne Rooney is the only active player on the list and going by his current form he might eventually occupy the number 1 spot. Rooney burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old when he scored a spectacular goal for Everton in their 2-1 defeat of Arsenal, ending the Gunners' 30-game unbeaten streak.

He spent two seasons at the Merseyside club before moving to Manchester United in the 2004 summer transfer window. He enjoyed a wonderful time at Old Trafford, winning almost all the trophies possible. He left United in 2017 after becoming their record goal scorer and made a return to his boyhood club Everton.

Till date, Rooney has 208 goals and 103 assists in 476 appearances. Still going strong, he would be looking to move to the top of the list.
