Mohamed Salah has taken the Premier League by storm ever since he set foot in Liverpool in 2017. Having flopped massively in his first stint in the English top-flight with Chelsea, the Egyptian playmaker joined Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side for a sizeable fee of €42 million.

However, Salah has more than repaid the Reds' initial investment, scoring 127 goals in 206 appearances. His 32-goal haul in the 2017-18 season is by far the most prolific tally mustered by anyone since the 38-team format was introduced in the Premier League.


Left midfielder: Jadon Sancho (€100m, Manchester United)

Primarily a right-winger, Jadon Sancho is equally adept at playing on the left flank. The versatile forward was bought by Manchester United this summer after a long-drawn transfer saga that stretched through multiple seasons. When €85 million is considered to be a bargain price, you know you have a generational talent on your hands and that is exactly what Sancho is.

The 21-year-old English prodigy has been a revelation ever since he exploded onto the scene with Borussia Dortmund. His Premier League career took off with a cameo from the bench against Leeds United on the opening day of the ongoing season.


Striker: Romelu Lukaku (€100m, Chelsea)

Romelu Lukaku recently staged a return to the Premier League with Chelsea in one of the most high-profile transfers ever. After recouping his reputation with Inter following two scintillating seasons in Serie A, the Belgian forward moved to Stamford Bridge for a whopping transfer fee of €115m.

With 116 Premier League goals already under his belt, the 28-year-old target-man has ample time to break into the top ten of the all-time scoring list. The Chelsea forward has endured a remarkable start to life on his return to Stamford Bridge, with three goals in two appearances.


Striker: Harry Kane (€120m, Tottenham)

The most valuable player in the Premier League, Harry Kane has been with Tottenham for most of his professional career. The English captain is a certified Premier League legend with 166 goals in just 248 appearances. This insane tally ranks him seventh in the all-time scoring charts in the English top-flight.

Regarded as one of the best strikers of the current generation, Kane is yet to win any kind of major silverware. He was recently linked with a big-money move to Manchester City, but nothing materialized. As such, the England captain stayed put at Tottenham and will be aiming to help them finish in the top-four this term.
