Best 5 attackers in the Premier League this season
Due to its competitiveness and surprises, many believe the Premier League is the best league in the world. The current Premier League season has demonstrated exactly that.
Arsenal currently sit on top of the Premier League table with 18 points, while Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion complete the top four. Liverpool, who are expected to challenge for the Premier League title, have struggled to find consistency so far this season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City are currently the bottom four teams in the league table.
This article will take a look at the top five attackers in the Premier League this season based on current form:
#5 Marcus Rashford
The Englishman has been brilliant for Manchester United in the Premier League this season. With him in attack, the team's performances have improved. The 24 year old is arguably the Red Devils' best player this season. He is also Manchester United's top scorer in the Premier League so far this season.
@MarcusRashford looking good this season. Here are his stats thus far:

Rashford is currently Manchester United's key player in attack. His finishing prowess has helped the Red Devils get back on track after losing their first two games of the Premier League season.
Double goal scorer Marcus Rashford was our man of the match. He found chances worth 0.8 xG and successfully played three balls into the final third (more than any other Man Utd player). https://t.co/djf05c4HkI
Rashford is currently injured but will be a key player for Erik ten Hag this season.
#4 Gabriel Jesus
The Brazilian has been exceptional for Arsenal and his intuition in attack has improved the overall performances of his team. Gabriel Jesus has registered four goals and three assists in seven Premier League games so far this season. He is certainly one of the best attackers in the Premier League right now.

The first of many, Gabby 👊
Jesus was omitted from the Brazilian national team squad for their upcoming games, but he will be extremely important for Arsenal in the Premier League this season.
🗣️ Arteta on Gabriel Jesus not being in the Brazil squad: “I haven't [been given a reason why]. What I have to do is try to convince the players that they have to continue to do that, put their heads down, accept the decision that is made by the coach of the team.” [via Arsenal] https://t.co/ippCtjnARM
#3 Aleksander Mitrovic
The Serbian forward has been clinical for Fulham in attack as he's one of the top scorers of the current Premier League campaign. Mitrovic has scored six goals so far this season.

Mitrovic is not playing for one of the big six teams in the Premier League but he has been a nightmare for defenders around the league.
