Big names from Barcelona , Liverpool , Chelsea and Bayern Munich rank among the leading players in Europe for the highest total of goals and assists in the 2024-25 season up to this point.
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.
Here are the top 10 players with the highest total of combined goals and assists in Europe’s main leagues so far this season.
Note: If two players have an equal number of goal contributions, they are ranked based on their goals and assists per minute ratio. As a result, Cole Palmer and Romelu Lukaku narrowly miss out on our top 10 list.
10. Bradley Barcola – 22 years old (13 goals, 9 assists)
Even without Kylian Mbappé and earlier without Lionel Messi and Neymar, PSG seems stronger than ever. They have secured the Ligue 1 title well ahead of schedule, consistently finding the back of the net at an impressive rate.
While The Parisians may lack the star power of their past, they haven’t lost ground by nurturing young French talents such as Barcoła.
The 22-year-old forward is thriving under Luis Enrique’s guidance, contributing with either goals or assists every 82 minutes in France’s top league.
9. Erling Haaland – 24 (21 goals, 3 assists)
Even though Haaland experienced a slump from November to January, he has reignited his goal-scoring ability lately, netting eight times in his past 11 Premier League matches.
There aren't many assists available, but that isn’t his main role. Let the playmakers and wingers handle the creative work, and Haaland will step in to deliver the final touch.
Currently bound until the summer of 2034, he has no immediate plans to leave the city. However, a third consecutive Premier League Golden Boot might be unattainable following the injury sustained during the FA Cup victory against 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)
Another 25-goal campaign for the seasoned Polish international.
We're only now reaching the endgame, and the 36-year-old has already reached that prestigious benchmark for league goals.
While there may be few assists listed here, this doesn't reflect Robert Lewandowski's true strengths. He excels when presented with scoring opportunities—of which Barcelona provides plenty—and consistently delivers, much like his 25th La Liga goal during Barcelona's win against 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 top No. 9 in the Premier League at present? He definitely showcased his prowess with how confidently he scored during the cup final against Liverpool.
4. Mateo Retegui – 28 (23 goals, 5 assists)
Atalanta performed exceptionally well with the replacement of their injured key forward Gianluca Scamacca, who sustained a severe ACL tear just before the start of the season. Retegui has potentially been the most impactful acquisition this year.
Scamacca came back for only five minutes before sustaining yet another injury that keeps him sidelined for the rest of the season. Fortunately for Atalanta, they do not need his services.
Retegui could very well be the top striker in Serie A. This news would delight football supporters across Italy – could the Argentine-born product of the Boca Juniors youth academy be the one to guide the Azzurri to their first World Cup victory since 2014?
3. Omar Marmoush – 28 (19 goals, 9 helpers)
You're witnessing the potential breakout star of the 2024-25 season. After an impressive beginning to the campaign with Eintrcht Frankfurt, Manchester City decided to invest approximately £59 million in him.
In only 17 Bundesliga matches, this 25-year-old player managed a goal involvement every 58.2 minutes and appeared as an unrelenting presence in Germany’s top division.
He has already scored three goals early in his Premier League career. Marmoush appears to be among City’s top performers and will likely play a crucial role as they aim to return to the Champions League.

2. Harry Kane – 31 (23 goals, 8 assists)
Although the England captain did not claim any titles during the previous season, his statistics from his first year at Bayern Munich were extraordinary. He could potentially surpass those figures in the 2024-25 campaign.
In addition to his impressive performance in the Bundesliga, Kane has shown remarkable productivity in the Champions League as well.
Surely this is the year he gets his hand on silverware?
1. Mohamed Salah – 45 (27 goals, 18 assists)
It still leads by a significant margin.
Despite Salah's chances for winning the Ballon d'Or possibly suffering a significant blow following Liverpool's exit from the Champions League and their unexpected loss in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, it should not be overlooked that he is currently having one of the most remarkable individual seasons in recent Premier League history.
Liverpool’s Egyptian King has already surpassed several all-time Premier League legends And there are still six matches left to play.
He’s definitely going to break it down. the record for most goals and assists in a single Premier League season and might quickly join the all-time European legends .
