However, where does he rank amongst the best goal scorers and creators that have played in the Premier League? Here are some of the best ever to have graced the top division in this country…
6) Didier Drogba, Chelsea, 107 minutes per goal/assist
The Ivorian is currently in his second spell at the London club, and still seems to have the ability to put the ball in the back of the net. During his first spell he was one of the most feared strikers in the Premier League.
=4) Javier Hernandez, Manchester United, 104 minutes per goal/assist
Now on loan at Real Madrid, Hernandez has been see as harshly treated by some. Usually relegated to the bench during his time at Manchester United, he always made an impact when he came on as shown by this stat.
=4) Luis Suarez, Liverpool, 104 minutes per goal/assist
Before his huge money move to Barcelona, Suarez nearly single handedly took Liverpool to the Premier League title. He also managed to win the Golden Ball while at the Reds without being his team’s primary penalty or free kick taker.
3) Robin van Persie, Arsenal/Manchester United, 99 minutes per goal/assist
Before the season prior to his controversial move to the Red Devils the Dutchman had struggled with injury but always looked top class when he had played. Since then he has had far less trouble with his fitness and the goals, and assists have flowed.
2) Thierry Henry, Arsenal, 86 minutes per goal/assist
The Gunners legend has recently retired, and will always be known as one of the best forwards of his generation. He was a key part of Arsenal’s “invincibles” side in 2003/04.
1) Sergio Aguero, Manchester City, 84 minutes per goal/assist
The Argentine has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water, and this stat is unbelievable when you consider how many injuries he has had to deal with. If he ever has a season completely clear of fitness issues then he could break a lot of records.
