Over the years, the Premier League has witnessed a handful of players with impeccable shooting ability. Some of whom were specialists from either long or short-range distances.
Notable examples include the likes of Xabi Alonso, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robin Van Persie, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and Leighton Baines.
The current 2022-23 Premier League campaign has also had its fair share of such players. We look at five players who have registered the most shots this season.
#5 Mohamed Salah - Liverpool - 50 shots
The Egyptian winger has consistently been a major threat to Premier League defenders and goalkeepers since his move to Liverpool in 2017. Aside from his astonishing goal-scoring ability, Mohamed Salah has repeatedly demonstrated incredible shooting technique, especially with his magical left foot.
The Reds forward is currently among the players with the most registered shots in the league this season. His total of 50 shots places him fifth on the log so far.
Salah has managed a total of 4.18 shots per 90 for Liverpool in the league this season. He also has six goals and three assists to his name.
#4 Gabriel Jesus - Arsenal - 50 shots
The Brazilian forward is arguably one of the few summer signings who have had an incredible impact on their teams this season.
Gabriel Jesus has been able to guide Mikel Arteta's team to the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners are currently also in contention to win the league for the first time since 2004.
The Brazilian's presence in attack for Arsenal has been a huge weapon in their current title charge.
Aside from his 10 goal contributions, Jesus has also registered a total of 50 shots this season. He is level on the same amount of shots as Liverpool forward Salah. However, the Arsenal striker has played fewer league minutes than the Egyptian (1226 minutes against 1239 for Salah).
