The Premier League is filled with a number of talented English players and many of them are lining up for a place in the national team. With so much talent available in the country, it sure is a good headache to have for England manager Gareth Southgate.

Over time, the quality of English players has only gone up and it is exciting to see young new faces coming in and doing well. The competitiveness of the Premier League gives them the perfect platform to grow and improve their game.

The Premier League is blessed with amazing English players

One of the most shocking performances this season has been one of England's best, i.e., Harry Kane. Since his potential move to Manchester City in the summer failed, the Tottenham Hotspur striker has struggled in front of goal. He has scored just one goal in the league this season.

While it is a setback for the Premier League, some of Kane's compatriots have done wonderfully well. They have contributed at regular intervals and helped their respective clubs. On that note, let's take a look at the English players who have contributed the most amount of goals in the league this season.


#5 Trent Alexander-Arnold (8 goals)
