Top 5 Premier League forwards to watch in the 2021-22 season 

#3 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mo Salah became the first ever player to net in five consecutive opening weekends

Ever since he returned to the Premier League with Liverpool in 2017, Mohamed Salah has made everyone sit up and take notice of him.

In these last four years, he's firmly etched his name in Premier League folklore with 96 goals, including 32 in his record-breaking first season and one in this new campaign.

If Salah scores twice v Burnley on Saturday, he will reach 100 PL goals (including his short spell at Chelsea) in 160 games, the same as Thierry Henry. Only Shearer (124), Kane (141) and Aguero (147) have got to three figures quicker. Not bad for a winger.

Since clinching back-to-back Golden Boots in 2018 and 2019, the Egyptian ace has fallen some way short in that regard in the last two years despite continuing at the same level.

But having started the new season brightly, netting an incredible strike against Norwich City last Saturday, Salah looks sharp and inspired for another record-breaking campaign with the Reds.

#2 Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)

Lukaku has aced the Premier League in the past - now it's time to do the same with Chelsea

The race for the Premier League's Golden Boot intensified manyfold after the arrival of Romelu Lukaku, who returns to the Premier League after two glorious years with Inter Milan.

While his first stint with Chelsea was one to forget, the Belgian is no stranger to performing in the Premier League - he's scored 113 times in 252 Premier League games with four different clubs.

His best days obviously came with Everton, where he spent a large chunk of his early career, and established himself among the deadliest strikers on the planet with his imperious prowess.

Despite his wealth of experience and records, it's hard to believe that he's still only 28, and the Blues are almost certain to get the best out of him this time around.

#1 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Kane is gunning for his fourth Golden Boot this season

Despite intense speculation over his Tottenham Hotspur future, Harry Kane has stayed put thus far.

However, the fact that he isn't traveling with the squad for the UEFA Europa Conference League play-offs despite being fit has once again reignited exit rumors.

With 163 Premier League goals in the last seven years, the striker is highly sought-after in the world.

But regardless of whether he ends up at either of the Manchester clubs or stays in North London for another year, he's surely the one to look forward to.

Kane finished as the Premier League's top-scorer (23) and top assist-maker (14) last season, taking home a third Golden Boot in the process.

It will be interesting to see how the 28-year-old can top that.
