There are great goal-scorers, including prolific ones like Robert Lewandowski, Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah, and the almighty Haaland. Also, some players miss chances and not scoring goals is natural to them. It is as if they have made it their main hobby in football. Some players can’t score more than 5 goals in a league season. 5 players who cannot and will not score more than 5 goals in the Premier League this season will be discussed in this write-up.
5) Gabriel Martinelli
Gabriel Martinelli looks to be the only surprise package in this article, but it is what it is. He rarely scores for Arsenal Football Club. He is mostly known for his great runs due to the high level of speed he possesses. Of course, no one can forget his goal against Chelsea, a splendid run that made N’golo Kante fall to the ground. However, he does not seem to be a player who can score more than 5 Premier League goals this season.
4) Marcus Rashford
The Manchester United academy product and present starter has not been in form for close to 2 years now. Since hitting his first 30-goal-in-a-season mark in his career, Rashford seems to be nowhere near scoring goals. He is now known for misses, lackadaisical attitude, and poor plays. Someone who once scored goals for fun is now a candidate to finish the 2024/25 Premier League season with no more than 5 goals.
3) Jack Grealish
This man has played 76 games for Manchester City and has only managed to score 11 goals – ha! In his best season, he scored 5 goals for his side and had 7 assists. For a baller like him, these are poor stats and contributions. This is the reason he can’t even net 5 goals this season in the Premier League. Looking at his injury record, how many games would he even play?
2) Mykhailo Mudryk
For a player who had such an impressive Premier League debut against Liverpool, it is a shame he has not had a good impact in the league. Mykhailo Mudryk is a very talented dribbler who possesses great speed but lacks concentration and good decision-making. In fact, at the rate he is going, he may have more yellow cards than goals in his Premier League career history if he doesn’t sit up. Of course, this season again he’s not expected to go beyond the 5-goal mark in the Premier League.
1) Antony Dos Santos
The Man, the Myth, the Legend – Antony Matheus Dos Santos. He deserves to be number one in this article for his great achievements in the Premier League. This guy is so accurate and consistent in his stats. His case is somewhat the worst of the five as he struggles to get more than 3 goals in a league season. That is very poor for the €95M Manchester United signing from Ajax Amsterdam. Nowadays, it’s even harder for him to play as he has lost his place in the United starting line-up.
