Double hat-trick hero Raphinha leads the way in Top Five League goalscorer rankings

Big names like Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappe and Raphinha are leading the scoring charts across Europe so far this season, but there are also some under-the-radar names and even a golden oldie.

Harry Kane was the top scorer in Europe last season with 36 Bundesliga goals, and the race is on to be the best bagsman across the continent’s best leagues this season.

Here are the top 10 goalscorers from Europe’s five major leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1) this season.

Note: if two players are tied on goals, we’ve ordered them by their minutes-per-goal ratio.

10. Ante Budimir – 5 goals

One of La Liga’s perennial bouncers, Budimir is there to keep Barcelona and Real Madrid in check. Want to win the league? You need to go to Osasuna and stop the veteran scoring.

The Croatian has started this season in characteristically strong form, with five goals in his first seven appearances.

9. Fer Nino – 5 goals

Great name, great scoring record. Nino has notched five goals for Elche, although this hasn’t stopped them from slipping into the relegation zone early on.

8. Erling Haaland – 5 goals

Same old story.

Haaland is up to five goals from his first five outings of the 2026-27 Premier League campaign.

He’s won three Golden Boots in four years since arriving in England and we really can’t see beyond him claiming another this season.

7. Yassir Zabiri – 6 goals

After signing Zabiri in February but seeing him fail to score in his first six games for the club, Rennes sent him on loan to La Liga newcomers Racing Santander for the 2026-27 season.

He’s hit the ground running with six goals this year, after coming on as a sub in the first two games of the season.

A hat-trick on his first start against Elche justified the decision to include him and he recently added a match-winning brace against Alaves.

6. Roberto Fernandez – 6 goals

Espanyol striker Fernandez is already just one goal away from matching his La Liga tally from last season.

Braces against Levante and Osasuna have been the highlights of the former Barcelona B loanee’s start to the season, but he’s also scored against Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano.

5. Donyell Malen – 6 goals

Top of the list with a minutes-per-goal ratio of just 42.5, Malen has started the season with Roma just how he ended the last one: on fire.

Thriving as the centre-forward he could never quite Aston Villa he was, Malen hit a hat-trick in Roma’s opening game of the season as they immediately went top of Serie A.

His efforts since, including a brace against Lecce and the opener against Torino, have helped them stay there ever since.

He’s already scored more than twice the number of goals he ever did for Villa, in considerably fewer games too.

4. Sergio Camello – 7 goals

Neck and neck with the likes of Raphinha and Yamal in the race for the Pichichi trophy is the unsuspecting Rayo Vallecano attacker Camello.

Already two goals better off than he was in the whole of last season’s La Liga campaign, Camello has beaten his highest-scoring top-flight return already.

And he’s been doing it against high-calibre opponents, too, with a brace against Barcelona and a goal against Real Madrid, despite Rayo being on the losing side both times.

The 25-year-old is currently in the last year of his contract, so he might be one to watch in the January transfer window.

3. Kylian Mbappe – 7 goals

He may think he deserves the 2026 Ballon d’Or, but if he misses out, Mbappe is on a mission to make damn sure he gets it in 2027. Indeed, it’s been a blistering start to his season.

He has seven goals from six games so far this La Liga season – and he’s only actually needed four of those games to get the goals in question.

Mbappe got up and running for the season with a hat-trick against Real Sociedad, before scoring once against Malaga, twice against Rayo Vallecano and once against Elche.

2. Lamine Yamal – 7 goals

The extraordinary rise continues. Yamal recently declared himself and Mbappe the best two players on the planet, and he might have a point.

Yamal drew a blank in Barca’s first two games of the season, but has hit braces in three consecutive games: against Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Levante, before adding a seventh (plus two assists) in their 7-2 mauling of Racing Santander.

Last season was the highest-scoring season of his career so far, but we have a sneaky feeling he’ll reach even greater heights this time around.

1. Raphinha – 12 goals

Raphinha has been transformed into a striker this season, and it’s working wonders for Barcelona.

The Brazilian scored his 12 goals so far across the first seven games of the season in La Liga, and turned provider with two assists on his fifth appearance.

Barca could have found themselves with a Lewandowski-shaped void up front this season, but Raphinha is having other ideas.
