Top Premier League scorers of all time: Mo Salah scores again to move closer to Thierry Henry tally

Top Premier League scorers of all time: Mo Salah scores again to move closer to Thierry Henry tally

Sports Mole lists the all-time leading goalscorers of the Premier League era, including all 34 players to have reached at least 100 goals in the competition.

Some of the greatest forwards and goal-getters in recent football history have graced the Premier League since its inception in 1992, helping to establish the English top flight as one regarded by most as the best league in the world.

Former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United man Alan Shearer remains far and away clear as the leading goalscorer in the competition’s history, racking up a whopping 260 from 441 appearances in the top flight.

Harry Kane had looked like the only man capable of challenging that tally before switching North London for Munich in the summer of 2023, with the former Tottenham Hotspur striker leaving as the second-highest scorer in Premier League history.

Everton and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is the only other player to surpass the 200-goal mark, but 34 people in total have now made it to triple figures in the division.

Of those, Mohamed Salah, Jamie Vardy, Raheem Sterling and Son Heung-min are still active in the Premier League and continuing to climb the list, with Salah now eighth and bearing down on Arsenal icon Thierry Henry.

Here, Sports Mole outlines every player to have scored 100 goals or more in the Premier League era.
