Arsenal are pushing hard in the final days of the summer window to land a forward capable of transforming their attacking play ahead of another Champions League tilt.

The 27-year-old was exceptional during the 2025/26 campaign, registering nine assists and playing a central role as Arsenal lifted their first league title in 22 years and reached a Champions League final. Rice played 4,456 minutes last season, second only to…

So who actually holds the best penalty conversion rate in the sport’s history? The answer depends on how you measure it, but a handful of names dominate every serious ranking.
