BREAKING NEWS: 9 Players With Most Headed Goals in Premier League History

With the Premier League now seen as one of the best leagues in the world, goals can come in every variety and form. Finding the advantage, however possible, is crucial, especially when millions of pounds are at stake. From overhead kicks, 30-yard screamers and well-placed volleys, fans around the country never know what to expect. Headers play a part in that.

Teams are often reluctant to boot the ball forward and cross it into the ‘danger area’, but it can prove incredibly useful. Often, they may do it when chasing a last-minute goal — and it’s led to some of the most memorable moments in the competition’s history. Watching the ball place into the back of the net is immensely satisfying, especially when knowing several skills must combine to complete the perfect header.

Some players were better at headers than others, so we have decided to outline the nine players with the most headed goals in Premier League history. Only two players on the list currently play in the English top flight, but the likes of Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Gabriel Jesus are all just narrowly off it. They may soon feature if they can start to find form.

To begin, Tim Cahill was one of the stars of the Premier League golden era, and nostalgia always plays a part, but the Australian was one of the most entertaining players around. Signed by Everton in 2004, Cahill quickly became one of the Premier League’s best goal-scoring midfielders, famous for his versatility and excellence under David Moyes at Goodison Park. The Australian scored 56 goals in the competition, and 22 of those were remarkably headers. Despite being just five feet, 10 inches, he had the ability to leap high into the air and battle even the best defenders in the world, as one of two active Premier League players on this list, Chris Wood could quickly.
