Toney V Jesus V Nketiah: Who Is The Best Striker For Arsenal? We Take A Look At The Numbers - Part 2

Goals And Assists

As the three players all played different amounts of football last season, it’s fairer to assess their contributions per 90 minutes, rather than their sum total for the season.

Toney averaged 0.73 goals and assists per 90 in the Premier League, compared to Nketiah’s 0.41.

However, Gabriel Jesus is the striker who narrowly comes out on top (0.74 per 90). The Brazilian spent a sizeable portion of the campaign out with an injured knee but he still managed 11 league goals and 6 assists.

Toney did reach 20 goals, and you do have to take into consideration that he was playing for a mid-table team in Brentford, who do not create as many chances as Arsenal.
