Ade has more goals than Suarez or Hazard since his return With 8 goals in 10 games, Tottenham forward Emmanuel Adebayor is currently the most on- form striker in the Premier League . Once upon a time, it wasnt such an outrageous thing to suggest Emmanuel Adebayor was one of the best strikers in playing in England. And though he has flirted with form at a variety of clubs since that season, 2007-08 with Arsenal, more often than not such a claim would be met with ridicule by whoever was listening. But following his double against Newcastle United in Tottenhams emphatic 4-0 win, the Togo international is on a run of form no other Premier League player can match. His first goal at St James park was an opportunistic pounce on Nabil Bentalebs spilled cross, while his second was a volley into the ground that then bounced over Tim Krul. These goals followed Adebayors outstanding finish against Everton that won the game against their top four rivals. Amazingly, since returning to the Spurs first team in Tim Sherwoods first Premier League match as boss, the visit to Southampton on December 22nd, no player has scored more goals than the striker. As you can see in the table below, courtesy of Opta , Adebayor comes above some illustrious names including the vaunted Luis Suarez , Eden Hazard and Daniel Sturridge.
