Former Bolton Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce has ranked his top 10 strikers in the Premier League.
Allardyce positioned Manchester City’s Erling Haaland as the top striker in the Premier League at present, followed by Liverpool’s Alexander Isak in second place and Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta in third, during his appearance on the No Tippy Tappy Football show.
He placed Chelsea’s new No. 9, Joao Pedro, in fourth place, ahead of Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike in fifth.
Allardyce then included Chris Wood (sixth), Yoane Wissa (seventh), Viktor Gyokeres (eighth), Ollie Watkins (ninth), and Liam Delap (tenth) in his rankings.
Explaining his choice to feature Gyokeres in his top 10 strikers, Allardyce remarked: “I believe that over the past few years, he has demonstrated his capability as a top player who can score goals.”
Regarding Ekitike, Allardyce stated, “Another significant player for Liverpool. It was surprising to see them acquire so many players after winning the league.
“However, Arne Slot has clearly approached the board with substantial requests. I think he’s likely correct. Strengthening the frontline is crucial considering the number of matches they will face this season.”
