We've taken the chance conversion rate (the percentage of shots that a striker scores) and the number of minutes played per goal scored, for each striker in the Premier League, and ranked them on each statistic.

We've then given each player a score based on their rank for each stat, with the total lowest score being classed as the deadliest striker.

Nicklas Bendtner has been statistically proven to be the deadliest striker in the Premier League.

He came top on both stats, having converted 40% of his shots into goals and scoring a goal every 78 minutes in which he plays

Newcastle United’s best striker is Loic Remy , whose 144 minutes per goal is the 10th best in the Premier League.

Papiss Cisse’s conversion rate of 4.5% sees him ranked 53rd out of 54 overall.

Sunderland’s best striker - perhaps unsurprisingly after the League Cup final - is Fabio Borini, whose 14% chance conversion rate is the club’s best.

Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero came fourth overall but, scoring a goal once every 80 minutes, is the second highest in the league behind Bendtner.

Manchester United’s Robin van Persie is ranked 7th overall, and is still the club’s highest placed striker. He has a conversion rate of 26.8% and a minutes per goal ratio of 119.4.

Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge outperformed Suarez overall. Sturridge was the league’s 8th best conversion rate at 29.5% ahead of Suarez's 2.24%, which was 12th overall. Although with minutes per goal ratios of 88 and 86 minutes, they came fourth and third respectively.
