The top 10 goalscorers in Europe in 2026-27: Raphinha, Mbappe, Yamal…
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.
9. Sergio Camello – 7 goals
Hot on the heels of 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.
7. Esteban Lepaul – 7 goals
The Rennes striker has scored seven goals in seven Ligue 1 appearances, following up from his 20-strike haul last season.
No wonder Lepaul made his debut for France over the recent international break.
6. Lamine Yamal – 8 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 hit braces in three consecutive games: against Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Levante.
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.
5. Yassir Zabiri – 8 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 eight 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 soon added a match-winning brace against Alaves.
6. Antonio Raimondo – 8 goals
Frosinone have one of the most prolific trios in European football, largely thanks to Raimondo’s exploits.
Bologna let Raimondo stay with the Serie A newcomers for a second season on loan after he helped them win promotion and he’s taken to the top flight like a duck to water.
He scored a hat-trick in a recent 4-2 win over Sassuolo. Top strikers have been in short supply for Italy in recent years, so he might be one to watch.
5. Gustavo Varela – 8 goals
Keep an eye on this lad. Varela is just 21 years old, but he’s already looking like a serious talent at Serie A underdogs Monza, with a goal a game in Serie A since his summer move from Benfica.
The Portuguese youngster has been banging in the goals despite his side’s struggles. Surely bigger clubs will be taking notice.
4. Niclas Fullkrug – 8 goals
The West Ham striker curse strikes again.
Fullkrug looked a shadow of his former self during his miserable spell in East London, but he’s rediscovered his goalscoring touch back in Germany.
Still technically a West Ham player, the veteran striker has scored in six consecutive Bundesliga games to take his tally to eight for the season.
3. Erling Haaland – 9 goals
Same old story.
Haaland is up to nine goals from his eight seven 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.
2. Kylian Mbappe – 11 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 11 goals from 10 games so far this La Liga season – and he’s only actually needed six of those games to get the goals in question.
Mbappe got up and running for the season with a hat-trick against Real Sociedad and has also hit braces against Rayo Vallecano, Sevilla and Barcelona in El Clasico.
1. Raphinha – 13 goals
Raphinha has been transformed into a striker this season, and it’s working wonders for Barcelona.
The Brazilian scored his 13 goals so far across the first eight 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.
