The 10 players with the most goals & assists in Europe in 2024-25
Big names from Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea and Bayern Munich are among the top players in Europe when it comes to the most combined goals and assists in 2024-25 so far.
It takes something special to be able to create and finish, and there are an interesting mix of the usual suspects alongside some surprise names when you take a look at which players have notched the most direct goal contributions in Europe’s top five leagues – Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 – so far this season.
Without further ado, here are the 10 players who have registered the most combined goals and assists in Europe’s major leagues at this stage of the campaign.
Note: if two players are tied on goal contributions, we’ve ordered them by their ratio of goals and assists per minute. Cole Palmer and Romelu Lukaku just miss out on our top 10 for that reason.
10. Bradley Barcola – 22 (13 goals, 9 assists)
Despite losing Kylian Mbappe – and Lionel Messi, Neymar before him – PSG arguably look better than ever. They’ve already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title with weeks to spare, all the while scoring for fun.
The Parisiens might not quite have the superstar prestige they once had, but they’ve not lost anything by investing in young French talent like Barcola.
The 22-year-old attacker is flourishing in Luis Enrique’s set-up, averaging a goal or assist every 82 minutes in the French top flight.
9. Erling Haaland – 24 (21 goals, 3 assists)
Despite enduring a poor run of form between November and January, Haaland has rekindled his scoring touch recently with eight goals in his last 11 Premier League appearances.
Assists are in short supply, but that’s not really his game. Leave the creativity to the playmakers and wingers and Haaland will be there to apply the finishing touches.
Now tied down until the summer of 2034, he’s not planning on leaving City anytime soon. But a third successive Premier League Golden Boot may be out of reach after the injury he picked up in the FA Cup win over Bournemouth.
8. Kylian Mbappe – 25 (22 goals, 3 assists)
It was only a matter of time that Real Madrid’s latest Galactico featured in this list.
After a slow start to life at the Bernabeu, slowly but surely Mbappe is silencing his doubters.
He’s been one of the most prolific goalscorers across Europe’s major leagues since the turn of the year, and he might just be Los Blancos’ best and most important player in their title tussle with Barcelona.
7. Ousmane Dembele – 26 (21 goals, 5 assists)
It feels like we’ve been waiting Dembele’s entire career for him to finally deliver consistent end product.
In the early months of 2025, the penny might have finally dropped for the French winger. He’s scored nine goals in his last 11 appearances in all competitions.
Whisper it but PSG look better than they did at any point in their stacked superstar era, and Dembele has undoubtedly been their standout man. Could he fire them to a historic treble this season?
6. Robert Lewandowski – 27 (25 goals, 2 assists)
Yet another 25-plus goal season from the veteran Poland international.
We’re only just approaching the final stretch and already the 36-year-old has hit that hallowed milestone for league goals.
There aren’t many assists here, but like the names that bookend Lewandowski’s name here, that’s not what his game is about. Feed him chances – which Barca do in spades – and he’ll invariably deliver, just as he did with his 25th La Liga goal of the campaign in Barcelona’s victory over Girona.
5. Alexander Isak – 27 (21 goals, 6 assists)
The Newcastle forward has leapt into the top five following his emphatic run of form.
“He is a world-class talent and the way he took his goals today, he has got that coolness in front of goal, that composure that very few players have,” Eddie Howe told reporters after Isak scored a hat-trick against Ipswich.
“When you add his other qualities into the mix, how quick he is, how technically gifted he is, for me, he has got it all.”
The best No.9 in the Premier League right now? He certainly looked it with the way he took his cup final goal against Liverpool.
4. Mateo Retegui – 28 (23 goals, 5 assists)
Atalanta did superbly well to replace injured star striker Gianluca Scamacca, who suffered a serious ACL injury on the eve of the campaign. Retegui has arguably been the signing of the season.
Scamacca returned for just five minutes before suffering another injury that’s ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign, but fortunately for Atalanta they don’t require his skills.
Retegui might just be the best attacker in Serie A. Music to the ears of Italy fans everywhere – might the Argentina-born Boca Juniors academy graduate be the man to fire the Azzurri to their first World Cup since 2014?
3. Omar Marmoush – 28 (19 goals, 9 assists)
You’re looking at 2024-25’s breakout star. Following a dazzling start to the season with Eintracht Frankfurt, Manchester City had seen enough to splash around £59million on him.
In just 17 Bundesliga appearances, the 25-year-old averaged a goal contribution every 58.2 minutes and looked like an unstoppable force in the German top flight.
And he’s already got a hat-trick to his name in his fledgeling Premier League career. Marmoush already looks like one of City’s best players and will be vital in their bid to make it back into the Champions League.

2. Harry Kane – 31 (23 goals, 8 assists)
The England captain might not have lifted a trophy last term but his numbers in his debut season with Bayern Munich were off the scale, and he might just better them in 2024-25.
As well as his excellent Bundesliga output, Kane has also been wildly prolific in the Champions League.
Surely this is the year he gets his hand on silverware?
1. Mohamed Salah – 45 (27 goals, 18 assists)
Still number one by a country mile.
Salah’s Ballon d’Or hopes might’ve taken a major hit after Liverpool’s Champions League elimination and shock Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle, but don’t let it be forgotten he’s producing one of the great individual league campaigns of the modern era.
Liverpool’s Egyptian King has already outperformed some all-time Premier League greats and there are still six games to go.
He’s surely going to smash the record for Premier League goals and assists in a season and could soon be among the all-time European legends.
