It's Eric.
Thierry Henry!!!!!!
Title should be best ENGLISH striker. Neither are better than Henry, he’s clear by some distance. I’d argue Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Aguero deserve to be ahead of them as well.
Henry is the best EPL striker ever
Shearer and TiTi – who I would pick upfront
May be the best england but thiery henry is the no.1 without a doubt
The answer will be Haaland after his Man City stint. 🤷♂️
They have treated this as a Longevity award. That's the downside of focusing on careeer stars above all else. This happens a lot when some people put Lebron & Ronaldo over Jordan & Messi.
Henry
Rooney
Aguero
Drogba
Dont forget shearer was scoring before the first division became the premier league. Had a huge injury too and carried a poor Newcastle team for a number of years. Hope Kane does england proud in the bundesliga
Henry did everything
Ever no…
In the last 30 years…
Rooney, Kane are the best. Shearer 3rd!
Henry is the premier league's greatest ever player in any position.
Between Kane and Shearer, Shearer's the better striker but Kane's the better player.
People in this comment section talking about thierry henry. But if you look at his entire career not his prem carreer you see that he was averaging less than 0.5 goals per game. Alan shearer and harry kane have better goals per game than thierry henry. Thierry henry just have some good prime and the other season was just average levels.
I’m not sure but one thing I’m sure on Kane is far better than Rooney

Are we just pretending football didn’t exist before 1992?
Rooney. The best player in the team.. gifted and the hardest worker in the team.
Henry. By a country mile. Haaland may prove to be even better, but he has many things to improve upon (he’s young and can do it).
You forget the premier league is division 1
So jimmy greaves
Thierry henry
Lesser known statistic is in terms of goals per game ratio, Thierry Henry tops the chart ahead of Shearer, Kane and Rooney. A captain who drops deep when needed, assists aplenty, scores a whole heap and to this day widely regarded as one of the best players to never have won the Ballon d'Or, Thierry Henry in my mind is the best striker to have graced the Premier League.
I find it hilarious that when Kane was scoring against best teams in the world in Premier League, this question never arose, but he has one game in Bundesliga and ESPN are calling him the best striker in the world, because he is playing in a league they have rights for 😂. Premier League Kane is far better than Bundesliga Kane, but he is getting more global hype because Espn want to promote their coverage of the Bundesliga
Haaland #1
If you want a forward to hit shots on target and slot them home time and time again with either foot and with the head, it’s Alan Shearer. He simply is the perfect number 9 probably alongside Ronaldo 9 of Brazil as the premier out and out forwards of the modern era
