English League 2 has some serious strikers! Let’s look at the best 4 goal-scoring machines in the EFL 2 who have the potential to score in the EPL.
English League 2 is a professional league and is the 4th division on the English football pyramid. The league is overflowing with talented strikers who are desperately trying to impress EPL scouts and secure a massive contract. In this article, we are going to look at the best EFL 2 strikers who could score in the EPL. Also, if you need help with your English League 2 predictions MaxFootball has amazing picks and tips!
1. Reo Griffiths
It wasn’t that long ago that Barcelona and Real Madrid were interested in signing Reo Griffiths. The young striker had an amazing run with Tottenham’s under-18 side but failed to make an impact during his 4 subsequent years at Lyon. We expect Griffiths to regain his confidence and goal-scoring ability with Doncaster Rovers, he is not your average EFL 2 player!
2. Omar Bogle
At 29 years old, the clock is ticking on Omar Bogle’s football career. The fast-paced striker is now a veteran and has spent time at Wigan, Cardiff, Birmingham, and even ADO Den Haag. Bogle has the talent to play in the EPL as he can score from both feet, is great in the air, and is a skilled dribbler. He will need to have a big season at Newport County to impress scouts.
3. Matt Smith
At 6 ft 6, Matt Smith is one of the tallest strikers in English football. At 33 years old, he probably only has a few good seasons left. However, his unique strength and size give him a massive advantage over his opponents. He has an incredibly powerful shot and a fantastic header. Expect Matt Smith to score some great goals for Salford City.
4. Chris Long
Chris Long joined the Everton academy at just 5 years old but failed to break into the men’s side. He has spent time at Burnley, Blackpool, and Bolton before signing with Crewe Alexandra. He has good dribbling skills, can shoot from either foot, and has a natural ability to find the back of the net!
Final Thoughts
The best strikers in English League 2 are Reo Griffiths (Doncaster Rovers), Omar Bogle (Newport County), Matt Smith (Salford City), and Chris Long (Crewe Alexandra). Which of these players will make it to the EPL? Tune in this season to find out!
