The midfielder joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2015, where he had a dazzling first few seasons. Alli bagged an impressive 28 goals and 18 assists to his name in his first two Premier League campaigns.
The 25-year-old was the 2015-16 and 2016-17 PFA Young Player of the Year. Alli has scored 51 Premier League goals, including one this season. Under Antonio Conte, Alli just might get the reset he needs to get his career back on track.
Left Midfielder: Sadio Mane - 102 goals

Mane has 102 Premier League goals, with 81 of them coming for Liverpool. The 2018-19 season's joint top-scorer (with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Salah) is a key presence for Liverpool. He has won the Premier League and Champions League with the team.
Mane has scored seven Premier League goals this season, fourth-highest in the competition's goalscoring charts. Alongside Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, Mane has spearheaded Liverpool's lethal attack this season.
Striker: Harry Kane - 167 goals
Striker Supreme, Harry Kane, is one of the best in his position in the Premier League. Kane's technique and eye for goal make him one of the greatest finishers in the game at the moment. He has won the Premier League Golden Boot thrice, even with an underperforming Tottenham Hotspur side.
The England captain has an incredible knack for scoring goals, having racked up 167 Premier League goals thus far. However, he has scored only once in 14 games this season. Injuries at crucial times have hampered his ability, but Kane still manages to deliver at an impressive rate.
Kane was unstoppable during the 2020-21 season. The prolific striker topped both the goalscoring and assists charts while playing for a team that finished seventh.
Striker: Jamie Vardy - 127 goals
Jamie Vardy has had a spectacular Premier League career with Leicester City. The Englishman was instrumental in Leicester's improbable Premier League triumph in 2015-16 season, scoring 24 goals.

Vardy has scored 127 goals in the Premier League, and won the competition's Golden Boot in 2019-20 (23 goals). With nine strikes, he is currently second in the competition's goalscoring charts this season.
