Top 10 players who have missed the most chances in Premier League history

#1 Sergio Aguero (105)

The Argentine is Man City's all-time top scorer.

Perhaps, a surprising name on the list, Sergio Aguero is Manchester City's greatest ever goalscorer. He will definitely go down as a Premier League legend and had injuries not taken a toll, he would have been higher on the goalscoring list.

He is currently ranked 10th in the all-time scoring chart with 146 goals in just 210 appearances to his name. He is just three goals shy of Les Ferdinand and four adrift of Owen which he will surpass sooner than later.

But the stat which he won't want to see is the 105 significant opportunities which he has failed to take since arriving on the British shores. That is an astonishing amount, out of which if he could have dispatched half of those chances he would have surpassed Rooney as second highest Premier League scorer.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
