Highest goal scorers in premier league history

Sports report

After launching in 1992, the Premier League has become one of the toughest divisions in Europe and the quality on display has risen year on year. Here are the highest goal scorers in Premier League history and the stats behind each player:

Alan Shearer - 260 goals: Alan Shearer might be better known as a pundit these days, but in the early years of the Premier League he was the undeniable top man when it came to scoring goals. The fact that he leads the top scoring chart by over 50 goals shows just how lethal a finisher Shearer was.

Wayne Rooney - 208 goals: Wayne Rooney's statistics during his time at Manchester United are really something to behold. He hit double figures in the Premier League 11 seasons in a row, and managed to score 10 league goals when he returned to Everton.

Harry Kane - 193 goals: The only player on the list that isn't retired, it shows just how consistent Kane has been for Tottenham when he is already the third highest-scorer in the league's history. Kane has hit double figures in the last nine Premier League seasons, with his highest total coming in season 17/18, where he scored 30 goals.

Andrew Cole – 187 goals: A player whose goal record might be slightly forgotten about as his heyday was over 20 years ago, Cole deserves to be remembered not only for his part in Manchester United's treble winners of 1999, but how well he performed for Kevin Keegan's Newcastle too.

Sergio Aguero – 184 goals: Aguero's time at Manchester City came to an end this summer, and the striker leaves as not only one of City's best ever goal scorers but also one of the Premier League's best ever. Aguero's goal prowess might have diminished in his last season with the club, as he scored just four league goals, but up until then he was a goal machine. Aguero scored 20 or more Premier League goals in six of his 10 seasons at the club.
