Without a question, the Premier League is one of the most competitive competitions in the world of football. It is home to some of the top football teams and players in the world. Chelsea, the European and World Champions, compete in the Premier League, demonstrating its competitiveness.
In the Premier League, there are players at both extremes of the goalscoring range.
The key to winning games in this league, like in any other, is to score goals. Several players have been able to assist their clubs this season with their goal-scoring abilities, with Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo leading the way with their strikes.However, there have been certain players who have struggled to finish the season in the top half of the league. Without further ado, here is a list of the five players in the Premier League this season who have took the most shots without scoring.
Mohammed Salisu, #5 (21 shots)
Mohammed Salisu, a Ghanaian central defender, joined Southampton from Real Valladolid in Spain in 2020 after impressing in La Liga. Since joining the Saints, the 22-year-old defender has shown to be a valuable asset, establishing himself as a staple in the back four under Ralph Hassenhuttl.Salisu has made 27 Premier League appearances for Southampton this season, appearing in all but two of their league games. The Ghanaian youth has been one of Southampton's best and most reliable defenders this season, but he has been found wanting on the offensive side of the ball.
Despite the fact that goalscoring is not part of his job description, it is expected that he will be able to contribute with goals when the opportunity arises. Salisu has attempted 21 shots in the league thus far this season, all of which have been unsuccessful. In his professional career, he has only one league goal, which he scored for Real Valladolid in the 2018-19 season.
Nathan Redmond, #4 (A total of 21 shots)
Southampton winger Nathan Redmond, like teammate Salisu, is on this list. Since leaving Norwich City in 2016, the Englishman has been at Southampton. The 28-year-old winger is a senior member of the St. Mary's Stadium squad.
Redmond has made 20 Premier League appearances for Southampton this season, but he has no goals to show for it. So far in the second half of the season, he has only made one appearance since the end of January. His poor form and lack of production in front of goal could have played a role in his limited appearances this season.Redmond has attempted 21 shots in the league for Southampton this season, but none of them have found the back of the net. This season, the English winger has five assists for the Saints in the league.
Pierre Lees-Melou, No. 3 (24 shots)
Pierre Lees-Melou, a French midfield enforcer, joined Norwich City as the club attempted to strengthen its squad ahead of a return to the Premier League. The Canaries' season hasn't gone as planned, but Lees-Melou has been one of their better performers.It's difficult enough to play in a foreign country, but playing for a team in the bottom of the standings makes it even more difficult. Lees-Melou has appeared in 24 games for the Canaries this season, missing only six league games. The midfielder isn't recognized for his goal-scoring abilities, and after taking 24 shots this season, he has yet to score in the league.
Last season, Lees-Melou scored four goals in the French Ligue 1 for OGC Nice, in addition to a few more goals in prior seasons. Since joining Norwich, the Frenchman has taken on a more defensive role, which has honed his goal-scoring skills.
