Left-wing - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, on his day, is one of the most lethal forwards in the Premier League. The Arsenal captain has dragged his team across the finish line on numerous occasions this season and has found the back of the net with astonishing regularity.

The Gunners have endured a miserable season and have ended the Premier League season in a lowly 8th place. Aubameyang, however, has been as prolific as ever and has scored 22 of Arsenal's 56 goals in the season.

The Gabonese striker is Arsenal's best player at the moment and came agonisingly close to the Golden Boot after a brilliant performance against Watford on the final day of the Premier League season.

While Sadio Mane has an equally strong case to occupy the left flank on this team, it is incredibly difficult to look past the fact that the Gunners would find themselves in the bottom half of the table without Aubameyang's goals this season.


Striker - Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)

Jamie Vardy seems to have the uncanny ability to wriggle his way into any given list of goalscorers. The experienced English striker edged Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Danny Ings to the Golden Boot with 23 goals this season and has become Leicester City's knight in shining armour yet again.

The Foxes have struggled since the Premier League restart and shockingly failed to qualify for the Champions League despite Jamie Vardy's best efforts. While Brendan Rodger's side certainly cannot be proud of the latter stages of its campaign, Jamie Vardy's sheer presence in the final third holds the team in good stead ahead of next season.


Right-wing - Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mohamed Salah seems to be scoring goals for fun at Anfield. The Premier League's Egyptian king has become the forefront of Liverpool's potent attacking trident alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino and is one of the best wingers in the league.

Salah's sheer pace and finishing prowess have seen him record 19 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this season. The former Chelsea winger has been devastating throughout the season and has put in crucial performances against some of the biggest teams in the Premier League.

The Egyptian winger has already become a legend at Anfield and is set to score goals for the club for years to come.


Honourable Mentions: Sadio Mane (Liverpool), Danny Ings (Southampton), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Christian Pulisic (Chelsea), Raul Gimenez (Wolves)
