8. Daniel Sturridge
There’s a good case for Danny Welbeck, who as the only current player in the top three, with 19 goals, still has time to catch those above him.
Welbeck was a goalscoring sub at Manchester United and Arsenal but perfected the art on the south coast, with 12 of his tally coming during six years with Brighton.
The 35-year-old is now at Chelsea but – with apologies to Danny – there is another former Blue whose stats demand a place on this list.
Daniel Sturridge has two fewer substitute goals then Welbeck but has scored a slightly higher percentage of his overall Premier League tally as a sub – 22%.
The former England man, who played for Manchester City, Chelsea, Bolton, Liverpool and West Brom in the top flight, was good for an assist, too.
In fact, when you take his total goal contributions of 24, he provided at a more prolific rate than every substitute in Premier League history – bar Edin Dzeko and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Richarlison matches Sturridge for minutes per goal contribution, but with eight fewer the Brazilian, perhaps harshly, misses out.
