Furthermore, Foden's 28 shots demonstrate that he is a constant attacking threat to other teams, thanks to his technical background and good finishing ability. So, for this reason, Foden is arguably one of the best young footballers in the world in general and one of the best players in the Man City’s squad.

9. William Saliba: Ok fun fact that you might not know about him is that William Saliba is playing in his first Premier League season. The Arsenal defender, 21, has been a regular in Arteta's team, appearing in 19 league games and scoring twice. His defensive contributions have been outstanding, with WhoScored reporting that Saliba has made 25 successful tackles out of a possible 27. This season, he has also received 59 clearances. Furthermore, the Frenchman has an impressive pass completion rate of 91.7%. The 2022-23 Premier League season has been full of surprises for Newcastle United.

In that time, the 24-year-old has been involved in 6 goals, 3 of which he assisted and 3 of which he scored. During that time, no Premier League player has scored more goals.

6. Miguel Almiron; Miguel Almiron’s not alone in the Newcastle squad, but he is the most obvious example of the benefits of good coaching and management. Thanks to his impressive form, Almiron and his coach Eddie Howe won all three of the Premier League's monthly awards in October this season. Almiron scored 6 goals in 6 Newcastle games in October, the most in the Premier League. The Paraguayan striker scored twice against Fulham, assisted on 1 against Brentford, scored the game-winning goal against Everton and Tottenham, and set up a fantastic long shot against Aston Villa. Notably, the goal against Fulham on October 1 was named the best goal of the month.

5. Harry Kane; In scoring the only goal to beat Manchester City on February 5th, Harry Kane became the third player to net 200 goals in Premier League history.

Along with that, th2 29-year-old striker has 9 away goals this season and has scored in 5 of his 6 London derby away games.

The midfielder has 6 assists, losing only to De Bruyne with 9 in the Premier League. Saka also helped Arsenal to a 5-point lead over Manchester City in the rankings. It’s worth mentioning that in the last season, Saka is the first Arsenal player to win the England Men's Player of the Year award since 2003, and the youngest player to do so. Bukayo Saka had just received the "Player of the Season" award for the second time in a row a few months prior. Currently, Bukayo Saka seems to get the opportunity to receive the 2022 Kopa Trophy - the individual title for the best player under the age of 21 in the world.

3. Kevin de Bruyne; In this season, the 1991-born midfielder has performed impressively. After 29 Premier League appearances this season, the Belgian midfielder has 15 goals and 7 assists. Although the number of assists is lower than in previous seasons, De Bruyne's goal total is the highest of his career. In all competitions De Bruyne has also scored 19 goals, demonstrating that this is his best season ever. As we know that his previous best season had only seen 16 goals. More to say, he’s assisted Haaland five times this season, and as an offensive pair they’re a cut above.

2. Marcus Rashford; Rashford has been name mentioned the most recently as he scored 3 goals in January and was awarded the Best Player of the Premeier League. Man, United won 6 points in these games thanks to Rashford's goals against Bournemouth, Manchester City, and Arsenal.

Rashford, along with Bukayo Saka, is also one of England's top two goal scorers at the World Cup, with 3 goals.

1. Erling Haaland; The goal hunter of Manchester City, Erling Haaland, couldn’t be absent in the list today. The Norwegian striker scored 25 goals in 23 matches for the Etihad Stadium team, leading the list of top scorers in the Premier League 2022/23. Taking this into calculation, we can see that the Norwegian striker finishes once every 6 touches on average, and 1 out of every 18 touches results in a goal. Moreover, the 22-year-old striker has 1 goal in 58 minutes. If he keeps up his current form until the end of the season, Haaland will have scored 55 goals, breaking Alan Shearer's and Andy Cole's Premier League record of 34.
