Premier league top scorers

Noah Okafor’s remarkable season has him on the brink of setting a new record for Swiss players in the Premier League, having scored 8 goals in the 2025/26 season. This achievement ties him with Xherdan Shaqiri, who also netted 8 goals during the 2017/18 season.

Currently, Erling Haaland leads the Premier League Golden Boot race with an impressive 24 goals. Following closely is Igor Thiago, who has scored 22 goals. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah set a high bar last season by scoring 29 goals, securing the Golden Boot.

Okafor’s achievement places him among the most prolific Swiss forwards in Premier League history. His performance highlights a significant rise in talent from Switzerland, as he seeks to surpass Shaqiri’s record.

In contrast, Gabriel Magalhaes has scored 20 goals since his debut for Arsenal in the 2020-21 season, making him the highest-scoring defender during that period. For context, John Terry holds the record for most goals by a centre-back in Premier League history with 41 goals.

The Premier League top scorers table was updated on May 2, 2026. As the season progresses, fans are eager to see if Okafor can continue his scoring streak and potentially claim a spot among the league’s elite scorers.
