The 10 players with the most goals and assists in Europe’s major leagues in 2025
Big names from Real Madrid, PSG and Liverpool stand among some surprise packages when it comes to Europe’s most prolific players for goals and assists so far this calendar year.
Which names have been in the best form since the turn of the year? We’ve delved into the stats and assessed the very best from the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, La Liga, Premier League and Serie A.
Here are the 10 players who have registered the five most combined goals and assists in Europe’s top five leagues in 2025:
10. Ousmane Dembele – 15 (13 goals, 2 assists)
Sneaking into the top 10, Dembele edges out Harry Kane, Julian Alvarez, Mason Greenwood and Amine Gouiri – who all have 15 goal contributions in 2025 – by virtue of fewer minutes played.
PSG’s star man was regularly rested and rotated in the closing stages of their triumphant treble chase last season, while Luis Enrique only started him off the bench in Sunday’s Ligue 1 opener away at Nantes.
His Ligue 1 output isn’t why he’s the favourite to win this year’s Ballon d’Or, but finally adding consistent end product is evidence of a player transformed.
9. Bryan Mbeumo – 16 (10 goals, 6 assists)
Mbeumo drew a blank in his competitive debut for Manchester United, but he showed plenty of flashes to get excited about.
He earned his big-money move to Old Trafford off the back of the best spell of form of his career to date in the latter half of last season.
Replicate that Brentford form and Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils will be a side transformed. Watch this space.
8. Hugo Ekitike – 16 (9 goals, 7 assists)
Another eye-catching Premier League summer signing, Ekitike built on his breakthrough 2024-25 campaign at Eintracht Frankfurt and eye-catching Community Shield debut with a stellar bow in the Premier League.
The striker notched his ninth league goal and seventh league assist of 2025 in Liverpool’s breathless 4-2 victory over Bournemouth.
No adaptation period needed.
7. Isco – 16 (8 goals, 8 assists)
The Spanish playmaker’s resurgence since going to Real Betis has been a total joy over the past couple of seasons.
Rolling back the years, his superb form got him back into the Spain squad for the summer’s Nations League outings.
Unfortunately, he won’t be adding to this tally before the year’s end after he suffered a broken fibula in pre-season. And that after a broken leg kept him out of La Roja’s Euro 2024-winning squad last year. Rotten luck.
6. Mika Biereth – 16 (13 goals, 3 assists)
A graduate of Arsenal’s Hale End academy, Biereth has hit the ground running in his first experience in a major European league.
The Denmark international has 13 goals and three assists in just 16 Ligue 1 appearances after signing for Monaco from Austrian outfit Sturm Graz back in January.
5. Serhou Guirassy – 17 (15 goals, 2 assists)
For all the focus on Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, Guirassy has proven himself one of European football’s most lethal out-and-out centre-forwards and led the line superbly since signing from Stuttgart last summer.
Dortmund weren’t at all convincing in Guirassy’s early months, but they turned their form right around after appointing Niko Kovac in January.
The Guinea international’s Champions League hat-trick against Barcelona and goal glut at the Club World Cup don’t even count as part of this tally. Sit up and take notice.
4. Mohamed Salah – 18 (13 goals, 5 assists)
Liverpool’s Egyptian King topped both the goals and assists charts last season and broke the 38-game record for goal contributions.
His output dipped a little bit after Christmas, but even then it was up there with the very best in Europe.
And he picked up where he left off by notching – yet again on an opening weekend – against Bournemouth.

3. Mateo Retegui – 18 (13 goals, 5 assists)
We’re honestly a bit gutted that the Saudi Pro League has nabbed Serie A’s top goalscorer, as well as one of the Premier League’s most entertaining chaotic agents in Darwin Nunez.
2. Michael Olise – 18 (7 goals, 11 assists)
We always knew Olise was good at Crystal Palace. We didn’t know he was this good.
The winger produced a blinding debut season for Bayern Munich, getting better as it went on.
Seven of his 12 goals and 11 of his 15 assists came in the latter half of their Bundesliga-winning campaign.
1. Kylian Mbappe – 24 (22 goals, 2 assists)
Real Madrid’s latest Galactico received a lot of criticism for his slow start at the Bernabeu.
The World Cup winner was infamously caught offside eight times when Los Blancos lost 4-0 at home to Barcelona last October, and he missed a penalty in the Champions League group stage defeat to Liverpool.
Mbappe claimed he “hit rock bottom” with the defeat at Anfield and admitted he “couldn’t do any worse” during the early months of the campaign.
“I was thinking a lot,” Mbappe told reporters back in January. “I was adapting, thinking a lot about how to move, how to find space, whether I should get into Vinicius Junior’s zone, or Rodrygo’s. When you think so much, you don’t play well.
“It was more mental. I was physically fine, happy with the team, the group, but I had to give more. I knew it. I said to myself ‘now’s the moment. It’s time to change. You didn’t come to Madrid to play badly.’
All that’s behind him, and he now looks thoroughly in his groove in Spain.
Xabi Alonso is tasked with getting things clicking around Mbappe to make Madrid a trophy-winning force once again.
It’ll be interesting to see if Mbappe adds more assists under the new boss, but there’s nothing wrong with his goalscoring output.
