Alan Shearer was the first player to score 200 Premier League goals, and is the only player to score 100 goals for two clubs.

Since the Premier League's formation at the beginning of the 1992–93 season, a total of 35 players have scored 100 or more goals in the competition.[1] These players have been collectively referred to as the 100 Club.[2][3] This list excludes goals and players from the Football League First Division (1888–1992), showing only those who scored 100 goals in the Premier League after its inception in 1992. Alan Shearer holds the record for the most goals scored in the Premier League, with 260.[4] He became the first player to reach 100 goals in the competition, achieving the feat in 124 games during the 1995–96 season.[5] Along with Shearer, Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney are the only players to score 200 goals in the competition.[6]

Erling Haaland became the most recent player to score 100 goals in December 2025, doing so in just 111 appearances, making him the fastest player to reach the milestone.[7] Michael Owen is the youngest player to score 100 goals at 23 years, 133 days.[8] Dwight Yorke was the first non-English player to reach 100 in November 2000.[9][10]

As of the 2025–26 season, Mohamed Salah is the highest scoring active player, as well as the highest scoring foreign player in Premier League history. Didier Drogba became the first African to hit 100 goals in March 2012.[11] In April 2016, Sergio Agüero became the first South American to hit the 100 mark, and Son Heung-min became the first Asian player to do so in April 2023.[12][13] Six of the 35 players reached 100 without scoring a penalty: Sadio Mané, Peter Crouch, Emile Heskey, Les Ferdinand, Andy Cole,[14] and Ryan Giggs.[15][16][a]

Of players currently active in the Premier League, Callum Wilson is the closest to joining the list with 93 goals,[17] while Chris Wood is just behind him with 91.[18]
