8. Daniel Sturridge<\/p>\n
There’s a good case for Danny Welbeck, who as the only current player in the top three, with 19 goals, still has time to catch those above him.<\/p>\n
Welbeck was a goalscoring sub at Manchester United<\/a> and Arsenal<\/a> but perfected the art on the south coast, with 12 of his tally coming during six years with Brighton<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 35-year-old is now at Chelsea<\/a> but – with apologies to Danny – there is another former Blue whose stats demand a place on this list.<\/p>\n Daniel Sturridge has two fewer substitute goals then Welbeck but has scored a slightly higher percentage of his overall Premier League tally as a sub – 22%. <\/p>\n The former England man, who played for Manchester City<\/a>, Chelsea<\/a>, Bolton, Liverpool<\/a> and West Brom in the top flight, was good for an assist, too.<\/p>\n In fact, when you take his total goal contributions of 24, he provided at a more prolific rate than every substitute in Premier League history – bar Edin Dzeko and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. <\/p>\n Richarlison matches Sturridge for minutes per goal contribution, but with eight fewer the Brazilian, perhaps harshly, misses out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"8.
