<\/p>\n\n \u00a9IMAGO<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n It’s been a tough period of adjustment for Viktor Gy\u00f6keres, returning to England after a goal-laden spell in Portugal with Sporting CP. But some 10 months after his high-profile \u20ac66.9 million transfer to Arsenal, the 27-year-old is starting to warm up at just the right time for Mikel Arteta’s side. His double in the 3-0 win over Fulham means he now has 14 goals in the Premier League, making Gy\u00f6keres one of the best value striker signings when compared with the top 10 most expensive transfers in that position from the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Swede is only second to Jo\u00e3o Pedro, has proved to be the best-value goalscorer in terms of his cost-per-goal ratio. The Brazilian has hit 14 goals for Chelsea since his \u20ac63.7 million switch from Brighton, giving him a fairly modest \u20ac4.5 million. Gy\u00f6keres is not far away, though, having matched Pedro’s goal tally of 14 and his transfer fee being slightly more expensive.<\/p>\n As the graphic shows, he has a cost-per-goal of \u20ac4.8 million and given his current vein of form, that figure might continue to tumble. Unlike Pedro, his Chelsea colleague Liam Delap’s struggles continue with just one goal all season at a cost of \u20ac35.5 million.<\/p>\n Matheus Cunha is now one away from reaching double figures for Manchester United after opening the scoring in the 3-2 win over Liverpool on Sunday while Benjamin Sesko grabbed his 11th goal of the Premier League campaign after doubling their lead early on. Both players have proved to be effective signings and, despite their hefty transfer fees, United have received a return of 20 goals for their total outlay of \u20ac151 million – equating to around \u20ac7.5 million per goal from the pair. Arsenal fans will remember being linked with Sesko before they signed Gy\u00f6keres, and may feel justified in making that call.<\/p>\n Hugo Ekitik\u00e9 has enjoyed a respectable debut campaign in the Premier League with Liverpool before his season-ending injury in March, bagging 11 goals in 28 appearances. While Ekitik\u00e9 has been at the forefront of Liverpool’s attack, his fortunes somewhat contrast with the Alexander Isak. The most expensive signing in British transfer history, Isak has experienced a nightmare debut campaign with Liverpool. The Swede cost a massive \u20ac145 million to sign from Newcastle, but he has endured a miserable time with just three Premier League goals for the Reds in a season plagued by injury.<\/p>\n Isak’s goalscoring woes are proving to be too far and few between for Liverpool, working out at a princely \u20ac48.3 million per goal. The only frontman to have had it worse is Newcastle United striker Yoane Wissa, who like Isak has struggled badly with injury issues and is yet to find the same level of goalscoring form from his Brentford days. His solitary Premier League goal means the Magpies have shelled out \u20ac57.7 million per goal from 473 minutes on the pitch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Likewise, Nick Woltemade’s promising early season form has tailed off under Eddie Howe at Newcastle following his \u20ac75 million switch from Stuttgart. The Toon splashed out \u20ac133.7 million on the strike partnership only to get eight goals from them in total. It goes some way to explaining why Newcastle are languishing down in 13th place in the Premier League, while United are reaping the rewards of their clinical forwards.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Premier](\"https:\/\/tmssl.akamaized.net\/\/images\/foto\/newsansicht\/premier-league-strikers-most-expensive-1777834252-196121.png?lm=1777834437\" "\\"Premier")
