The crazy Saudi Pro League top scorers chart of 2024-25: Ronaldo, Benzema…
Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham stars are among the Saudi Pro League top scorers of the 2024-25 season so far.
Following a few years of heavy investment, the Saudi Pro League is now packed with superstars and several of them manage to make their way onto this list.
We’ve taken a closer look at the top scores so far and have compiled them all into this top 10 list.
Note: when players are tied on the number of goals scored we have ranked them by their goal per 90 ratio.
10. Musa Barrow – 11 goals
Following a few eye-catching years with Bologna, Al-Taawoun swooped in for Barrow last summer.
The forward only scored six goals during his debut season but he’s already surpassed that tally this time around.
9. Myziane Maolida – 11 goals
Scottish fans may remember Maolida banging in 10 goals on loan at Hibernain last season, but the myraid attractions of Edinburgh weren’t enough to stop the striker moving to Saudi Arabia.
Since signing for Al-Kholood, the Comoros international has scored 11 goals and generally looked a class above his team-mates.
8. Georges-Kevin Nkoudou – 11 goals
A flop at Tottenham Hotspur/Spurs, Nkoudou has since achieved success with both Lille and Besiktas before moving to Saudi Arabia to sign for Darmac.
The 30-year-old Cameroon international has 11 league goals this campaign to go alongside the 15 he notched last season.
7. Aleksandar Mitrovic – 12 goals
Mitrovic managed to score 28 league goals last season to help Al-Hilal win the title, but has been significantly less prolific this year despite a fast start to the campaign.
6. Abderrazak Hamdallah – 13 goals
You may remember Hamdallah as the man who denied Cristiano Ronaldo the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot in 2022-23.
Admittedly, the Portuguese forward only arrived in the league with Al Nassr in January, while Hamdallah had the full season with Al Ittihad, but that doesn’t take away from his achievement.
He scored 21 goals for the season, but considering Ronaldo arrived halfway through the season and finished with 14 in 16, he still did extremely well to take home the Golden Boot.
The Morocco international has 13 goals in 2024-25, which is a respectable tally and doesn’t rule out the possibility of him winning the Golden Boot for a second time.
5. Julian Quinones – 15 goals
Quinones is on fire at the moment.
The Mexican naturalized forward has scored 15 goals in the Saudi Pro League for Al Qadisiya and was recently called up to the Mexico national team for the first time.

4. Ivan Toney – 16 goals
It was only last summer that Toney was scoring vital penalties for England at Euro 2024, considered somewhere near the top of the pecking order for Harry Kane’s back-up.
Now he’s surely nowhere near Thomas Tuchel’s plans for the immediate future.
He’s scored 22 goals in 29 appearances for Al-Ahli after leaving Brentford, including 16 in the league, so perhaps the striker is perfectly content without further international recognition.
3. Marco Leonardo – 16 goals
Neymar’s move to Al-Hilal turned out to be a total disaster, but fellow Brazilian Leonardo has taken to life in Saudi Arabia with ease.
Playing alongside the likes of Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Leonardo has started 2025 in prolific form with 13 goals in 11 appearances.
And this rich vein of form has catapulted the 21-year-old into Golden Boot territory. Well done, son.
2. Karim Benzema – 16 goals
It’s been well-documented that Benzema didn’t have the easiest of debut seasons in Saudi Arabia, but he now seems to be finding his stride in his second season.
Despite being one of the highest-paid players in the league last year, the 37-year-old only managed to score nine league goals.
Having already scored 16 goals during this season alone, he has already surpassed his tally from last year and is challenging strongly for the Golden Boot.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo – 17 goals
With 35 league goals to his name last season, Ronaldo won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot at a canter.
And the 40-year-old leads the way in 2024-25 too with a tally of 17 goals from 22 appearances for Al Nassr.
Since moving to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has averaged a goal every 100 minutes and is well on the way to reaching 1000 career goals.
