Nigeria’s Taiwo Awoniyi has been ranked as the third most valuable signing last season, costing Nottingham Forest £1.7 million per Premier League goal.

Data shows that Carlos Vinícius is the most valuable attacker in the 22/23 Premier League season, costing Fulham £863,435 per goal.

The Brazilian striker has bagged five Premier League goals this season, averaging 0.41 goals per 90 minutes, but due to his impressively low cost of just over £4.3 million he has proven the most value for money.

The second most valuable attacker this season is Erling Haaland, costing Manchester City £1,439,058 per Premier League goal.

Haaland cost a whopping £51.8 million but managed to secure his place as one of the highest value for money attackers by scoring 36 Premier League goals, more than anyone in the history of the league.
