Top 5 active English goalscorers in the Premier League 

#1 Wayne Rooney

Rooney moved back to his boyhood club in the summer

Former Manchester United, England captain and record goalscorer, Wayne Rooney tops the chart of being the highest active PL goalscorers. The 32-year-old Englishman is only 50 goals behind the PL all-time goalscorer Alan Shearer.

The Everton skipper has reached double digits this season and is well on course to beating Shearer's record before he hangs up his boots. Rooney has retired from international football and is solely focused on his club career with the Toffees.

The 32-year-old striker, Rooney is still one of the most feared and respected strikers in the league. With 208 goals to his name, he tops the chart and is one of the country's finest ever goalscorers.
