Bayern Munich: big announcement for Harry Kane

This Monday is already the twentieth of the season in the ranking of European top scorers. We thus find the scorers who shook the nets in Germany, England, Austria, Belgium, Scotland, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland and Turkey. As in previous weeks, Harry Kane comes out on top. The English striker who has just scored a double with Bayern Munich against Borussia Dortmund (2-3) is the first player to pass the 30 mark in the league. He has thus scored 30 goals in 24 matches.

Kylian Mbappé comes in second position with 23 goals in 23 matches, but did not play. Indeed, Real Madrid only meets Getafe this evening in La Liga. The French striker will however not be present during this meeting since he is currently injured. The podium is completed by Luis Suårez. The Colombian center forward shone again with Sporting CP against Estoril this Friday during the LeÔes victory (3-0). The former Olympique de Marseille player even scored a double.

Erling Haaland leaves the podium

Erling Haaland fails at the foot of the podium. The Norwegian striker is ranked fourth and did not play this Saturday with Manchester City in the victory against Leeds United (0-1). He remains stuck at 22 goals in 27 matches. Fifth, Vangelis Pavlidis maintains the pace with 20 goals in 23 matches. The Greek striker from Benfica plays tonight with the Águias against Gil Vicente. Sixth, Paul Onuachu is a little further behind with 18 goals in 21 matches. The Trabzonspor striker scored again on Friday against Fatih KaragĂŒmrĂŒk (3-1). Ayase Ueda is also marking time with 18 goals in 23 matches. The Japanese striker has just gone an eighth game without scoring.

Eighth, Igor Thiago also found the net this weekend. The Brazilian striker found the solution during Brentford’s spectacular victory at Burnley (3-4). Ninth, Yanis Begraoui comes just behind with his 17 goals in 24 matches. The Moroccan striker remained silent during the defeat of his Estoril team against Sporting CP (3-0). Finally, Zimbabwean striker Tawanda Maswanhise completes this top 10 and appears in this ranking. The Motherwell player has 16 goals in 25 matches, with a double against Dundee United (2-0).

Vedat Muriqi (Mallorca) and Eldor Shomurodov (Istanbul Basaksehir) follow with also 16 goals, while Christian Fassnacht (Young Boys de Berne), Chris BĂ©dia (Young Boys de Berne) and Ayoub El Kaabi (Olympiakos) also fail to reach the top 10 with 15 goals. Deniz Undav (VfB Stuttgart), Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth and Manchester City), Lautaro MartĂ­nez (Inter Milan), Alessandro Vogt (Saint-Gall), Benjamin Nygren (Celtic Glasgow), Joaquin Panichelli (Strasbourg) and Mason Greenwood (Olympique de Marseille) come behind with 14 goals.
