Best striker in Premier League history?

We will never have another striker like Sergio. The Greatest in the PL!

I think it's difficult to say who is the best of all-time, he is certainly the best of recent times, but Henry scored some fantastic goals and jinked his way through the defences better than Sergio. That said, defences back then weren't as good as they are today.

Henry was a great player who peaked while he as at Arsenal. In terms of overall goals scored, goals per game and minutes per goal Sergio wins all three.

It's all opinion of course, but goals aren't always a good definitive measure of who was better than who because goals rely on the assistance of others (good play by team mates and bad play by opposition) so both players will have benefitted but did one benefit more than the other. I'm not really a fan of these top ten type lists because people are naturally biased, but it's certain there was no-one close to him in the last decade in the PL.

Based on mins per goal he is the best pl striker. Thats the best measure imo.

It’s a really close call between Aguero, Henry and Shearer, but peak Sergio (circa 2014) was the best imo.

Henry had much more to his game than Sergio and peak Shearer did before losing yards of pace after a bad injury at 27. Love Sergio to bits but peak Henry is the best player I’ve ever seen in the Premier League.

Henry scored goals, Bergkamp made me go "wow"







Aguero did both

I am not saying Sergio was, or was not the best. But given the amount of chances we make it is clearly easier to score for us than, for example Newcastle half the time Shearer was there (I personally think Aguero may be better but my point is - if Norwich has a 20 goal striker this season and we had a 25 goal striker - who has done better???)
