This Monday is the thirtieth assessment of the season for the ranking of European top scorers. We find the scorers who shook the nets in Germany, England, Austria, Belgium, Scotland, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine. Not used for Bayern Munich’s last match against Hoffenheim (4-2), Harry Kane remains the wide leader with 36 goals in 32 matches. The England striker is unlikely to be caught between now and the end of the season.
He is ahead of Swede Viktor Gyökeres who finished with a brace against Chaves in a 3-0 victory for Sporting CP. The former Conventry City player finished the year with an incredible record of 29 goals in 33 matches. The podium is completed by Luuk de Jong. The Dutch striker made the talk again yesterday against RKC Waalwijk (3-1). With his double, he is now credited with 29 goals in 34 matches.
Serhou Guirassy goes back
Statistics similar to those of Vangelis Pavlidis who comes fourth with 29 goals in 34 matches. The Greek striker scored once again against Utrecht in a 3-3 draw with AZ Alkmaar. In fifth position, we find Serhou Guirassy. The Guinean, who scored twice against Borussia Mönchengladbach, finished the season with 28 goals in 28 matches.
