This season the goals have been flying in everywhere, with the first goal scored by Luis Suarez and the last by Sergio Aguero, this list of players identifies the ratio of how many goals have been scored in comparison to the cost of the goal based on the transfer fee of each player.

Robin Van Persie for example was signed in 2004 for £2.75m, since then he has scored 96 goals for the club since he joined, 30 being from last season.
Grant Holt played a massive part in Norwich’s come back season to the Premier League last season. The Canaries signed Holt for an undisclosed deal of £400,000 in 2009 who has been a great cause scoring 15 goals this season in the Premier League to give them a successful run since promotion.
