The best striker in the Premier League in 2023, taking only goal into account, is on fire Aston Villa ace Ollie Watkins.

The former Brentford man has been in fantastic form since the turn of the year but put in one of his best displays of the season against Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

He was the definition of unplayable, torturing the Newcastle defence throughout with his movement and setting up the opener for Jacob Ramsey.

Then he finally got the goal he deserved on 64 minutes, it took him to 11 in the calendar year. He later secured a brace, ensuring itā€™s 12 since the start of 2023 (most by any Premier League player).

Nobody has netted more.
