Who are the top goalscorers in the 2019/20 EPL season?

As the 2019/20 EPL campaign is set for a potential restart, we take a look at the highest scorers of the Premier League season.

Who is the highest scorer in the EPL this year?

Jamie Vardy | 19 goals

Jamie Vardy is the highest EPL goalscorer this season

Former EPL champion Jamie Vardy has taken the league by storm and is currently the highest scorer in the Premier League. His 19 goals have helped Leicester City sustain a challenge for a UEFA Champions League spot. In fact, they were tipped for a potential EPL title challenge earlier on in the season given their rich vein of form led by Vardy's heroics.

English playmaker James Madison has taken centre stage as the creator-in-chief for the Foxes and has helped Vardy thrive on the counter. The midfielder possesses the ability to play inch-perfect through-balls for the legendary EPL striker to latch onto. Madison has played more through-balls (19) than anyone in the league bar Manchester City's Kevin De Brune (23).

Vardy has a two-goal lead over the next highest contender, but the nine players after him are separated by just one goal.
