Despite Haaland and Rodri’s undeniable influence at City, it’s no real surprise to see Saka topping this list as he continues to produce for Arsenal in the final third.

The ‘incredible’ forward is nearly averaging a goal contribution per game this term, which is some going for a player who’s still only 22.
