This Monday is the new score of the season for the ranking of European top scorers. This report brings together the most prolific attackers playing in the continent’s major and intermediate championships. As in previous weeks, Harry Kane dominates the debates. The English striker from Bayern Munich is now well established on his throne with 31 goals scored in just 26 matches. With formidable efficiency, the former Spur displays an impressive average of a goal every 66 minutes, confirming his status as favorite for the Golden Boot.
Behind the untouchable Bavarian, the battle for the podium rages. Luis Suárez, the Colombian striker from Sporting CP, takes second position this week. With 24 goals in 25 games, the Leões center forward continues to take his team to the heights of the Portuguese championship. He is ahead of Kylian Mbappé, who occupies third place. For his second season at Real Madrid, the Frenchman maintains a high pace with 23 goals in 25 matches, remaining the number one offensive asset of the White House despite a return from injury without a goal for the moment.
Ayase Ueda gets closer to the podium
The Norwegian cyborg, Erling Haaland, failed this time at the foot of the podium. The Manchester City striker is fourth with 22 goals in 29 matches, a total identical to that of Ayase Ueda. The Japanese striker from Feyenoord is having an exceptional season in the Netherlands, also totaling 22 goals in 27 appearances. This group shot is completed by Paul Onuachu. The Nigerian giant of Trabzonspor confirms its return to form in Türkiye with also 22 goals on the clock, but with a ratio slightly higher than its two direct competitors.
In seventh place, we find Vangelis Pavlidis. The Greek striker from Benfica maintains a strong pace with 21 goals in 27 matches, remaining a sure value in European football for years. He is ahead of a duo of attackers with 19 goals: Vedat Muriqi, the solid striker from Mallorca who carries the Spanish attack on his shoulders and the Brazilian Igor Thiago. The latter, who brings delight to Brentford in the Premier League, proves that he has taken a step forward this season despite a greater number of matches played (31) than Kosovar.
Finally, German striker Deniz Undav closes this prestigious top 10. The VfB Stuttgart striker achieved a remarkable performance with 18 goals in just 24 matches, the lowest total of matches played among members of the elite. Just behind, the pressure is mounting with players like Mason Greenwood or Lautaro Martínez knocking on the door, remaining on the lookout for a poor performance from the leaders to join this ranking next week.
