About: Most Premier League Goals Scored (All Time)
Overview of the data behind this chart
Players ranked by total goals scored in the English Premier League since its formation in the 1992–93 season, according to official Premier League statistics. Alan Shearer's record of 260 Premier League goals has stood since his retirement in 2006 and remains the benchmark that every subsequent generation of English football's greatest strikers has chased — with Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane each coming closer than any other player but both ultimately falling short. Shearer's record combines 23 goals for Southampton, 23 more in his first season at Blackburn Rovers, and 206 goals for Newcastle United across the final decade of his career, all scored in an era before sports science, nutrition optimisation, and squad rotation management had extended elite striker careers to the lengths now common in the modern game.
