Top five German goalscorers in Premier League history ft. Havertz & Gundogan

Havertz leads the German scoring charts! Kai Havertz scored the only goal for Arsenal in their 1-0 win against Liverpool on Sunday.

This goal not only propelled the Gunners to the top of the table but also provided a personal milestone for the German star. Havertz's goal against Liverpool marked his 46th goal in the Premier League.

As a result, he became the highest-scoring German player in the history of the English top flight. He overtook the record of Manchester City legend Ilkay Gündogan.

Other than Havertz and Gündogan, the Premier League has witnessed several free-scoring players from its European neighbours. Players like Mesut Özil lit up the league with their technical ability, and the likes of Lukas Podolski and Leroy Sané have served their clubs admirably.

Let's look at the top five German goalscorers in the history of the Premier League. Top five German goalscorers in Premier League Rank Player Goals Matches 5 Jürgen Klinsmann 29 56 4 Mesut Özil 33 184 3 Pascal Groß 34 256 2 Ilkay Gündogan 45 221 1 Kai Havertz 46 172 5.

However, his compatriot, Jürgen Klinsmann, achieved this feat in just 56 matches. Klinsmann spent 18 months with Tottenham Hotspur across two spells.

He joined Spurs for the first time from Monaco in the 1994-95 season and scored on his debut against Sheffield Wednesday. He finished his first season in the English top flight with 20 goals.

After leaving for Bayern Munich and Sampdoria, Klinsmann rejoined Spurs ahead of the 1997-98 season on loan. He made just 15 appearances but scored an astonishing nine goals, saving the club from relegation.

In the eight seasons he spent with the Gunners, he became the focal point of attack for his team, registering 50 assists in the Premier League. He was a potent goal threat as well, scoring 33 goals in 184 matches.
