Premier League has some of the best finishers infront of the goal. Here is the top 5 Premier League most clinical finishers in terms of goal conversion rates.
5.Gareth Bale (Tottenham) – 25% Conversion Rate.
The Welshman has come in for criticism after he failed to set the world alight following his return on loan to Tottenham from Real Madrid this season.
However, when given the opportunity to shoot, Bale’s conversion rate is excellent, having scored from five of his 20 attempts on goal.
4.Son Heung-Min (Tottenham) – 25.5% Conversion Rate.
Bale’s teammate just gets ahead of him on this list, but the achievement is even more impressive due to the fact he has played more league games and has unleashed considerably more shots on goal.
Son has hit the back of the net 13 times from 51 attempts; a pretty good conversion rate for the Korean, who has been a standout player for Spurs this campaign.

3.Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City) – 26% Conversion Rate.
The German has been a revelation in front of goal for City so his presence on this list is not as surprising as it would have been in previous years.
Gundogan has bagged 12 goals from just 42 shots, putting him ahead of his teammates Gabriel Jesus (21%) and Riyad Mahrez (18%)
2.Jesse Lingard (West Ham) -27% Conversion Rate.
After scoring six goals in his first eight appearances for West Ham, the Manchester United loanee is close to the top of the pile in terms of conversion rates.
Lingard has had just 22 attempts on goal so far this season, but he is certainly making the most of them when he is given the chance to hit the target
1.Diogo Jota (Liverpool) – 32% Conversion Rate.
The Portuguese international ranks as the most accurate shooter in the Premier League.
Jota has proven a superb buy for Liverpool and he will likely be part of the Reds’ front three for many years to come.
