Who was the best striker in the Premier League<\/a> in 2025-26?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Premier League was filled with a host of top-quality strikers in the 2024-25 campaign. Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak both filled their boots with goals. And there were a lot of new names added in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used our Squawka Score to pick out the best 10 of the season. Our rating system takes into account a variety of statistical categories, both defensive and offensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025-26 season is now over, and Erling Haaland is unsurprisingly the best striker of the campaign. There were three more strikers with a Score in the 70s, with Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and Richarlison all scoring well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
