The Premier League is arguably the top level of football in the entire world. And alongside English talent, plenty of foreigners have left their mark on the competition over the years. In this article, we will be taking a look at the top five foreigners with the most goals in the Premier League.
Foreigners with the most goals in the Premier League
5. Robbie Keane – 126 goals
Keane is held as one of Ireland’s all-time greatest players, and was also the most expensive teenager at one point. He played for Wolves, Coventry City, Liverpool and Tottenham during his time in England, aside from a short spell with Inter Milan.
4. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink – 127 goals
Hasselbaink was one of the first foreigners to win the Premier League golden boot, with Dwight Yorke and Michael Owen. He featured for Leeds before joining Atletico Madrid, and returned to win the golden boot again with Chelsea.
3. Robin van Persie – 144 goals
Van Persie featured most prominently for Arsenal, and he scored 30 goals in his final season with them before moving to Manchester United. He helped the Red Devils win their 20th title, and scored 26 goals in the process.
2. Thierry Henry – 175 goals
Henry is still regarded as one of the best forwards the world has ever seen. The Frenchman was the driving force behind Arsenal’s Premier League title win as the invincibles, and was the ‘complete’ forward that terrorised defenses throughout his time at the club.
1. Sergio Aguero – 184 goals
The Manchester City legend is one of the best players of the past decade. And his ruthless goalscoring record puts him among the greats. The Argentine scored 184 goals with the Sky Blues, helping them win five league titles.
