We have taken each striker to have scored 50 or more goals in the Premier League.

In a list of top goalscorers, Drogba’s 100 goals in the league for Chelsea put him 23rd in the list - joint with Matt Le Tissier and behind Emile Heskey, who bagged 110. However, Drogba played in just 226 Premier League matches compared to Heskey’s 516.

His goals per game ratio stands at 0.44 - that’s a goal every 2.26 games.

On that statistic, Drogba finds himself ranked in 12th place, while Henry, van Nistelrooy, and Suarez make up the top three.

Top of the all time goalscoring list are Shearer, Andrew Cole, and Henry.
