Ranking 5 wingers with most goals in Premier League history
The Premier League is lucky to possess some amazing wingers right now. With so much talent available on the wings, it certainly makes the competition much more entertaining to watch.
There was a time when Cristiano Ronaldo was considered one of the best wingers in the league. Now that he has turned into a prolific striker, his position has been taken up by others.
The Premier League has had some fine goal-scoring wingers
Scoring goals from the wings is not something that comes very naturally. Despite that, many wingers in the Premier League have turned out to be amazing goal-scorers.
Their timely contribution in front of goal has been of immense help to their respective clubs. Without further ado, let's take a look at the highest goal-scoring wingers in the history of the competition.
#5 Eden Hazard
The last decade in the Premier League witnessed one of the best performers in Eden Hazard. Signed from Lille in 2012, the Belgian made an instant impact for Chelsea.
Using his sensational dribbling skills, nimble footwork and creative abilities, Hazard was a massive threat in attack. In his 245 league appearances for the Blues, he scored 85 goals, winning two league titles in the process.
Despite leaving in 2019, Eden Hazard has more dribbles in the Premier League than Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez (since the 2015/16 season) 🤯 https://t.co/MGxK0ufy1G
His performances in the 2018-19 season saw him score 16 goals and register 15 assists, making the most goal contributions that campaign. This eventually earned him a move to Real Madrid the following season.
#4 Sadio Mane
The Senegalese joined Southampton in the summer of 2014 after impressing with Red Bull Salzburg. Sadio Mane settled in almost immediately with the Saints and continued with the same form.
In his two seasons with Southampton, he scored 21 goals in 67 appearances. This helped him earn a move to Liverpool in the 2016-17 season. Since then, he has been with the Reds and has become a vital player for them. To date, he has scored 85 goals and registered 28 assists for them.
Sadio Mane is the only player with 10+ Premier League goals in each of the last eight seasons.
In total, Mane has 106 Premier League goals to his name. The count is expected to only go up given the form he is in and how Liverpool are set-up to play.
