During the 32 years since the Premier League was born, there have been many classy strikers who have shined in England's top tournament. These can be pure goalscorers, wingers or those who play as a striker.

The greatest goalscorer in Premier League history is Alan Shearer, whose record of 260 goals for Southampton, Blackburn and Newcastle stood for 17 years. It's a record that doesn't look like it'll be broken any time soon, after the man most likely to surpass it, Harry Kane, moved to Bayern Munich last summer.

However, Sportbible's list is not only based on the number of goals scored by players, but also based on many other factors such as influence or titles earned.

Accordingly, the person at the top of the list is Thierry Henry. The French striker has scored 174 goals, winning 3 Premier League titles. Titi was also elected to the best team for 5 consecutive seasons from 2000/01 to 2005/06. Right behind Henry are tournament record holders such as Wayne Rooney (208 goals, 103 assists in the Premier League) and Alan Shearer (260 goals, the most in Premier League history).

Thierry Henry is considered the best striker in Premier League history

Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane ranked 4th and 5th respectively, while Erling Haaland ranked 6th. However, it is worth noting that the Norwegian striker only played less than 2 seasons. If he stayed at Man City for a long time, he could absolutely have a higher rank. The final four on the list are Eric Cantona (7th), Michael Owen (8th), Andy Cole (9th) and Luis Suarez (10th).

Of course, any list will have controversy when many people will name other famous strikers such as Didier Drogba, Robin van Persie, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Dennis Bergkamp, Ian Wright or Jamie Vardy.
