The 10 players with the most goals & assists in Europe in 2025-26: Igor Thiago racing up…

Superstar names from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City are once again among the standout performers in Europe when it comes to the most combined goals and assists in 2025-26 so far.

It takes something special to both create and finish, and there’s an intriguing blend of the usual elite names alongside a few surprise packages when you look at which players have racked up the most direct goal contributions across Europe’s top five leagues – the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 – this season.

Without further ado, here are the 10 players with 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.

1. Harry Kane – 22 (19 goals, 3 assists)

Bayern’s attack is in formidable form. And most impressive is the focal point tying it all together.

England captain Kane notched great numbers across his first two seasons in the Bundesliga, but now he’s threatening to take his game to new levels. Vincent Kompany’s side appear to have stepped things up another gear this season.

Before his Champions League brace against Chelsea, Kane notched five goals and three assists in just three Bundesliga matches. That’s a direct goal contribution every 30 minutes.

He’s currently on 17 goals and three assists from just 13 games, on track for a mesmerising return if he keeps it up.

2. Kylian Mbappe – 22 (18 goals, 4 assist)

“I feel really good. I don’t think about being one of the team’s leaders, I think about being myself, Kylian, I think about the team,” Mbappe recently told Movistar.

“Xabi wants us to win the ball back more quickly. We have to understand what we do, and then we’re determined to do it, because we want to win.

“I do what the boss asks me to do. He wants a high block, to win the ball high up, and then we can create chances.

We’ll get used to it and it will help the team win trophies. … I want to help the team, if it’s scoring goals, pressing or assists.”

Whether Alonso lasts long at Real or not, Mbappe is certainly doing that. Pressing in a functional, elite team while still contributing? This could be his Ballon d’Or year.

He’s second only to Kane given the Bayern man has his contributions in fewer minutes than Real Madrid’s superstar.

3. Erling Haaland – 23 (19 goals, 5 assists)

Amazingly, Haaland’s five goals in the first four games of 2025-26 was his worst-ever start to a Premier League season.

But he’s fired himself up since then and shows no signs of slowing.

On 23 contributions now this season, Haaland has found the net more than 100 times in the Premier League now, along with 21 assists. We expect to see his goalscoring alone keep him in the upper echelons of this list as the season goes on.

4. Michael Olise – 15 (7 goals, 8 assists)

Bayern have a ridiculous 55 goals already in 15 games this season, and Olise has had a hand in 15 of them.

Last season, his 12 goals and 18 league assists were the best of any campaign in his career, and he’s on course to surpass those numbers this term.

Talk of a move to Liverpool to take Mohamed Salah’s place is the reward Olise has earned for his spectacular displays, though Bayern aren’t going to let him out of their grasp.

5. Igor Thiago – 15 (14 goals, 1 assist)

A pure, unadulterated finisher, Thiago rarely messes around with anything so common as assists, with his first 11 goal contributions this season starting on his foot (or head) and ending in the back of the net.

After he got his first assist in the 18th game of this season, he made up for straying from type by netting a hat-trick against Everton two games later.

Only Haaland is outscoring him in the Premier League and the Brazilian is proving he was worth the wait, after missing most of his first Brentford season with injury.

It seems his aim is to have scored enough goals for the season he missed by the end of just one campaign.

6. Lamine Yamal – 14 (7 goals, 7 assists)

Second place in the Ballon d’Or in 2025 at 18 years of age, Yamal is going to be one of the leading names in world football for the next decade if all stays as is.

He’s on course for his best season, just three goals shy of his best La Liga tally and if he doubles his assists tally in the more than half season which remains, he’ll set a record there, too.

7. Luis Diaz – 14 (8 goals, 6 assists) 

Arne Slot’s new-look Liverpool have slipped away this season, though the same can’t be said for Diaz, who has taken to Bundesliga football like a duck to water after departing Anfield in the summer. The Reds have been crying out for the sort of production he’s become so accustomed to.

The Colombian has struck up a stellar on-pitch relationship with Olise and Kane at Bayern.

This formidable attack looks it’ll rip to shreds all that stands in their way this season – in domestic football, at least. It’ll be interesting to see if they can make strides in Europe.

8. Mason Greenwood – 14 (11 goals, 3 assists)

The former Manchester United forward continues to rack up good numbers for Marseille.

He averages almost a direct goal contribution every game.

9. Lautaro Martinez – 14 (10 goals, 4 assists)

In the first eight games of the season, Martinez only had five direct goal contributions to his name.

But he’s since brought the heat, with seven goals and two assists in the last seven games.

10. Ferran Torres – 12 (11 goals, 1 assist)

To say Torres has spent most of his career as a winger, it doesn’t show in his assist stats, as he’s far eclipsing those with goals, having occupied the striker slot at Barcelona often this term.

A pair of braces and a hat-trick have aided a gung-ho Barcelona side, who are streets ahead of all of their La Liga rivals in terms of goals scored, and have seen Torres net more than anyone else in the league, bar Mbappe.

If they keep up this level of scoring, Barca could come close to setting a new La Liga goals record.
