5 Players Who Have Scored the Most Premier League Goals Since 2022-23: Manchester City Ace Erling Haaland Miles Clear of the Competition

Manchester City pulled off one of the best transfers of the 21st century in the summer of 2022, signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund for a mere €60 million ($67.1 million) fee. The likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain were also interested in the Norwegian, but he chose Pep Guardiola’s project. It also helped that he had a personal connection with Man City, as his father Alf-Inge Haaland spent three years at the club between 2000 and 2003.

Haaland has been shattering records left, right, and center since joining City, and through today’s list, we will explore how dominant his spell has been in the Premier League. Continue reading to meet the top scorers in the Premier League since the start of the 2022-23 season.

#5 Bukayo Saka (Arsenal): 31 Goals

Kicking off the star-studded list is Arsenal golden boy Bukayo Saka. The Hale End graduate has scored 31 goals and provided 25 assists in 78 Premier League matches since the beginning of the 2022-23 campaign. Saka enjoyed his most productive Premier League campaign in 2022-23, as he scored 14 goals and claimed 11 assists in 38 games, helping Arsenal finish second in the rankings.

Saka, 23, is already one of the best wingers in the division, and he will only get better with experience. Since breaking into the Arsenal senior team in 2018-19, Saka has played 232 games in all competitions, scoring 59 goals and providing 58 assists. He has won one FA Cup and two FA Community Shields with the Gunners.

#4 Alexander Isak (Newcastle United): 32 Goals

Newcastle United paid a handsome €70 million ($78.3 million) to prize Alexander Isak away from Real Sociedad in August 2022. The center-forward has done well for the club since joining, chipping in with 32 goals and five assists in 57 Premier League games. The number would have been much higher had he not missed 17 games due to injuries.

Isak is a formidable center-forward, capable of changing the game in the blink of an eye. His goals have been crucial to keeping the Magpies competitive since 2022, and we only expect him to get better with each passing year. Thus far, the 25-year-old has played 73 games for Newcastle United in all competitions, scoring 36 times and providing six assists.

#3 Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): 37 Goals

One of the key contributors to Aston Villa’s rise to fame, Ollie Watkins has been thriving lately. The England international has scored 37 times and provided 20 assists in 79 Premier League matches from the start of the 2022-23 season. Watkins enjoyed his best-ever campaign in 2023-24, as he scored 19 goals and claimed 13 assists in 37 matches, helping Villa secure UEFA Champions League qualification for the first time in their history.

The 28-year-old joined Aston Villa from Brentford in September 2020. Over the last four years, he has played 175 games for the Midlanders, scoring 73 times and providing 28 assists. He has yet to win a major trophy with his current club.

#2 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): 40 Goals

Arguably the most complete forward in the Premier League, Mohamed Salah has scored 40 goals and provided 26 assists in 75 Premier League matches for Liverpool since 2022-23. Despite not being at his best in the last couple of seasons, the Egypt international has easily been the Reds’ most impactful player.

Salah has been one of the first names on Liverpool’s team sheet since joining from AS Roma in the summer of 2017-18. He has thus far played 355 games for the club in all competitions, scoring 214 times and providing 93 assists. The 32-year-old, who is in the final year of his contract, has won one UEFA Champions League trophy and one Premier League title with the Merseysiders amongst other honors.

#1 Erling Haaland (Manchester City): 73 Goals

Manchester City goalmachine Erling Haaland has struck an unfathomable 73 times in 71 matches since moving to the Premier League in July 2022. The Norway international has also provided 12 assists. Unsurprisingly, Haaland has claimed two Golden Boots since his switch to England, scoring 36 goals in 35 games in 2022-23 and 27 goals in 31 games in 2023-24. He is the runaway favorite to claim his third this year, as he already has 10 goals to his name after only five games.

Haaland, who has scored a joint-record 100 goals in only 105 games for Manchester City, has won all the major trophies in just two seasons. The 24-year-old bagged the Treble in 2022-23 and added another Premier League title to his cabinet in 2023-24.
