10. Wayne Rooney, Manchester United – 7.06
Starting with the Red Devils skipper – who has missed the last two matches due to suspension – and in his three league appearances to date Rooney has scored three times and provided two assists.
9. Romelu Lukaku, Everton – 7.09
The Belgium international seems to have been a bit quiet this season and his manager Roberto Martinez has even been moved to publicly defend him, but with three goals and one assist the stats tell a different story.
8. Abel Hernandez, Hull City – 7.11
Somewhat against type Tigers boss Steve Bruce signed a number of attacking and flair players over the summer and this Uruguayan has greatly impressed with three goals in five games.
7. Leonardo Ulloa, Leicester City – 7.12
Some doubted whether it was a good decision when Leicester paid a club record £8m for this 28-year-old, but five league goals later and most of those critics have been silenced.
6. Peter Crouch, Stoke City – 7.21
Perhaps a surprise addition now although Stoke have been playing well and with two goals and one assist Crouch has been involved in plenty of the action.
5. Diafra Sakho, West Ham United – 7.42
Many thought the Hammers would struggle this term, but with Sakho having scored five league goals in just six appearances they currently sit in a lofty fourth position.
4. Danny Welbeck, Arsenal – 7.53
With Olivier Giroud injured Arsene Wenger made a deadline day move for this 23-year-old and Welbeck has impressed already with two goals and an assist in five games.
3. Graziano Pelle, Southampton – 7.58
Those that thought the Saints would struggle this campaign after selling five key players and losing manager Mauricio Pochettino have been silenced thus far, with this new signing having netted six times.
2. Sergio Aguero, Manchester City – 7.67
Despite several injuries this Argentina international remains prolific in front of goal and in eight appearances has scored an impressive nine league strikes.
1. Diego Costa, Chelsea – 8.29
Another new signing now and a striker who has hit the ground running following a £32m summer switch from Atletico Madrid with nine strikes in seven matches.
