Following a busy transfer window that involved a lot of fantastic deals and mouth-watering figures this summer, the English Premier League has resumed and about 4 games have been played by every club in the English top flight already. 

It is just the beginning of the campaign, yet many attackers have set the division ablaze with their with their explosive performances – tearing opposition defences apart, scoring spectacular goals and recording astonishing moments. 

As a matter of fact, the Premier League promises to be an exciting one this term with these incredible players hitting their top form early and producing interesting displays. Therefore, lets quickly take a look at 5 fantastic attackers who have begun the campaign on a brilliant note this term:

#5 Richarlison

Brazilian winger, Richarlison tasted Premier League football last season, leaving his native club, Fluminense to join Watford during the summer of 2017. After impressing in his debut campaign, the attacker earned a big move to join fellow English side, Everton this summer.

At the Goodison Park, Richarlison has shocked football fans and pundits alike, with his blistering performances in the English top flight. It took him just 17 minutes to open his account for the new season, scoring a beautiful goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their opening fixture.

He has gone further to raise his tally to 3 goals in 3 appearances – making him one of the most prolific scorers in the division so far. With such an impressive start, only time will tell how many goals the Brazilian will score during the campaign.

#4 Romelu Lukaku

Belgian International, Romelu Lukaku has been one of the top performers in the English Premier League for the past few years. The attacker bagged an incredible 16 goals during the previous campaign and he is also on track to continue with his amazing goalscoring exploits this season.

A decent finisher with immense aerial strength and unbelievable stamina, Lukaku has started the new Premier League campaign on a brilliant note – tearing opposition defences apart with his amazing physicality and incredible goalscoring knack.

The Manchester United striker is one of the top scorers in the English top flight at the moment, bagging 3 goals in 4 appearances for the Red Devils. Such an explosive start suggests nothing but another prolific campaign in front of goal for the Belgian superstar.

#3 Sergio Aguero

Following a rather catastrophic outing with his nation during the recently concluded World Cup tournament in Russia, Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has come back to his incredible best, producing spectacular performances as The Citizens aim to defend their title this season.

The Argentine has been in an explosive form ever since the new Premier League campaign began, tearing opposition defences apart with his amazing strength, incredible pace and his ability to send the ball into the back of the net.

Aguero became the first player to score a hat-trick in the English top flight this season, bagging 3 spectacular goals as Manchester City hammered Huddersfield Town 6-1 recently. Without doubts, the striker will definitely contend for the Premier League Golden Shoe this season.

#2 Aleksandar Mitrovic

Another attacker who has also started the new Premier League campaign explosively is Serbian International, Aleksandar Mitrovic. The striker joined Fulham in a deal worth £22 million this summer and he has surprised everyone with his incredible performances for the newcomers so far this term.

Filled with incredible talent and a very huge potential, Mitrovic is an outstanding player with amazing work-rate, immense energy and the ability to hold the ball up and press from the front.

The Serbian opened his account for the campaign against Tottenham Hotspur, scoring an incredible effort as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against The Spurs. Mitrovic added 3 more goals to his name to raise his tally to 4 goals in 4 appearances and he will be keen to reach new heights in the English top flight during the season.

#1 Sadio Mane

A new season represents a fresh challenge for every footballer and it often takes some time before many superstars get things rolling. However, Liverpool and Senegalese superstar, Sadio Mane has surprised everyone with his unbelievable start to the new Premier League campaign.

The attacker opened his account with a brilliant brace in Liverpool’s opening fixture against West Ham and he has gone ahead to add 2 more goals to his name – raising his tally to 4 goals in 4 appearances and helping The Reds to maintain their lead on top of the Premier League table.

After finishing with 10 goals in the English top flight during the previous campaign, the attacker will be keen to improve on that record this term – and with such an incredible start to the season, there is no doubt he will be a strong contender for the Premier League Golden Boot, come to the end of the campaign.
