There is no denying that football fans are keen to question any striker in the Premier League for their performances, especially if they are from one of the top six clubs.

AMKFootball has produced a chart to show the players who have the worst touches per 90 minutes.

For its data, AMK has picked the following 11 forwards from the league:

  • Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United)
  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal)
  • Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal)
  • Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
  • Roberto Firmino (Liverpool)
  • Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)
  • Olivier Giroud (Chelsea)
  • Álvaro Morata (Chelsea)
  • Sergio Agüero (Manchester City)
  • Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City)
  • Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

While the Manchester United striker is often targeted for his poor touch, he's not the worst person on the chart. In fact, the 25-year-old Belgian international came fifth on the list.

The England captain has the worst touches for any forward on the list. Yes, the 25-year-old Spurs striker only averages 38 touches per match, with him only getting 12 successful touches for every unsuccessful one.

Liverpool's Firmino tops the list with 57 touches per match (averaging only two unsuccessful touches per match), while Lacazette occupies second place with 46 (19 successful) and Giroud is in third place with 41 (21 successful).

You check out how all 11 strikers ranked below.
