Who are the highest goal scorers in Europe’s top five leagues?

The 2025-26 football season is well underway, and the battle to be crowned Europe's top goalscorer is already intensifying. Across the continent's premier leagues, established superstars and emerging talents are finding the back of the net, setting the stage for a thrilling contest.

Here's a look at the leading marksmen in La Liga, the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1.

Harry Kane is in formidable form for Bayern Munich, leading all of Europe's top five leagues with an impressive 11 goals. The England captain's prolific start to the domestic season has been matched by his international exploits, where he recently scored twice in a 5-0 victory over Latvia to secure a spot at the 2026 World Cup.

Real Madrid's blockbuster summer signing, Kylian Mbappé, has made an immediate impact in Spain. The French forward has quickly established himself as La Liga's top scorer with nine goals, demonstrating the lethal combination of speed and precision that makes him one of the world's most formidable players.

In England, Erling Haaland is once again the man to beat. The Manchester City phenomenon has already netted eight goals in just six appearances, continuing the relentless scoring that defined his previous campaigns. He also carried his form to the international stage, scoring a hat-trick for Norway against Israel.

The race in France is currently a two-horse contest between AS Monaco's Ansu Fati and Strasbourg's Joaquín Panichelli, who are tied with five goals each. Both young forwards have captured attention with their dynamic play and clinical finishing, promising an exciting and unpredictable battle for the top scorer title in Ligue 1.

Italy's goalscoring chart is currently topped by two players on four goals apiece. AC Milan's Christian Pulisic, recently honored as Serie A's Player of the Season, has started the new campaign strongly. He is joined by Bologna winger Riccardo Orsolini, who has also enjoyed a flying start to the season.
