Actually 6 non Europeans. Salah, Agüero, Son, Yorke, Mané & Drogba.
But a high quality list for the Woodsman to join.

Twelve months ago, when he was 31 goals away and heading into the last year of his contract, it was a dream.

Twelve months ago, when he was 31 goals away and heading into the last year of his contract, it was a dream.
Now, after the biggest year of his life – both on the field and off – and with a new deal that has him secure until the end of next season, it’s well within Chris Wood’s reach.
The “petty damn huge” achievement of scoring 100 English Premier League goals.
As the 2025-26 season starts this weekend, with Wood’s Nottingham Forest hosting Brentford at the City Ground on Sunday (kickoff 1am Monday NZ time), only 33 men have ever managed it.
And the 33-year-old All White, who has 89 to his name from 263 appearances across 11 different seasons, is next in line to join them, albeit with Manchester City star Erling Haaland, who has 85 from 97 appearances, coming up fast behind him.
“It would be pretty damn huge, in my opinion,” Wood said of potentially joining the 100-goal club, which includes just five players from outside Europe at present.
