The best value Premier League forwards RANKED - how Leeds United's Raphinha compares to Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal stars

Raphinha has scored 10 league goals for Leeds United this season in another stand-out campaign for the Brazilian - but where does he rank amongst the best Premier League forwards in terms of value for money?

Raphinha is the Whites' top scorer this season, with only nine players scoring more times than the 25-year-old in the top flight this term.

The forward has also laid on three assists this campaign, including a late one for Joe Gelhardt as Leeds dramatically defeated Norwich City last month to bolster their survival hopes.

Liverpool's Mohammed Salah is the top-scorer in the Premier League with 20 goals while Son Heung-Min, of Tottenham Hotspur, is close behind on 17.

Liverpool players make up three of the top five with Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane on 15 and 13 goals respectively while Cristiano Ronaldo is also near the top of the charts with 15 goals of his own.

Raphinha is 10th in the goal-scoring charts, level with Watford's Emmanuel Dennis, Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez, Chelsea's Mason Mount, Norwich's Teemu Pukki, Man City's Raheem Sterling and Leicester City's Jamie Vardy.
