6. Christian Benteke (Aston Villa)
Club goals: 39
Player’s goals: 10
Percentage of club goals scored by player: 25.6%
Despite failing to come close to his 2012-13 tally of 19 Premier League goals, Christian Benteke is no one season wonder.
The Aston Villa forward may have only scored ten goals this term, but it has been an injury interrupted campaign, and he remains comfortably the Birmingham side’s biggest goal threat.
Villa play their best football with Benteke in the side, and when the Belgium international was ruled out for the rest of the season and the 2014 FIFA World Cup in April after rupturing his Achilles tendon, their form plummeted.
Benteke will likely return to action in October or November. Aston Villa’s big test will be to see how they can do without their talisman.
