Peter Crouch and Steve Sidwell put together their current top five Premier League strikers and Mohamed Salah beat Erling Haaland to the number one spot on the list.
Some would not even class Salah as a striker, making the list a bit contentious, but the former Premier League stars chose to include the Egyptian in more of a ‘forwards’ category.
The pair were speaking on That Peter Crouch Podcast and started their top five with Brentford’s Ivan Toney, followed by Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins.
At number three was another possible non-striker in Tottenham superstar Son Heung-min, but the South Korean hero made the cut.
Then came Haaland at number two behind Salah, who got the nod over the Norwegian due to his longevity in the top flight.
The Liverpool legend is now at number 10 in the all-time Premier League goal-scoring charts with 154 top flight goals.
Haaland has made rapid progress in catching him up, with 54 goals in 58 Premier League appearances for Manchester City, but he is still a long way behind.

There was no place for the likes of Marcus Rashford, Alexander Isak or Darwin Nunez in the list, while the likes of Bukayo Saka or Phil Foden could even argue they could be included if Salah and Son are in there.
Salah will be hoping to return to the Liverpool starting XI after injury and potentially continue to climb up the list of all-time Premier League scorers before the end of the season.
He would need a stunning end to the campaign, but the 31-year-old is now just eight goals behind Jermain Defoe and nine adrift of Robbie Fowler.
With 10 games to play for Liverpool in the Premier League, it is not out of the question that he could reach those numbers before the end of the campaign.
