Erling Haaland is once again the top scorer among Europe's top 5 leagues.
With a hat-trick against Fulham, the Norwegian now has 6 Premier League goals.
Haaland is now at the same goal tally he had in the first 4 games of last season, which is 6 goals. Last season, we witnessed his incredible performance, and it seems like Haaland is simply continuing his goal-scoring form, with his sights set on surpassing last season's 36 Premier League goals. With his weekend hat-trick, Haaland broke another record, becoming the fastest player ever to be involved in 50 Premier League goals. He accomplished this feat in just 39 games, surpassing the previous record held by Andy Cole, who took 43 games.
Top goals corer in Europe’s top five leagues:
6 goals: Erling Haaland
5 goals: Jude Bellingham
5 goals: Serhou Guirassy
5 goals: Lautaro Martinez
5 goals: Kylian Mbappe
Jude Bellingham has had a strong start at Real Madrid and has already proven that he's worth every penny. He's not only a unique talent but perhaps among the best central midfielders in the world right now. He has scored 5 goals in 4 games and considering that Real Madrid has only scored 8 goals in total, Bellingham is the most influential player in Madrid.
Kylian Mbappe was at the center of a major drama this summer, as a transfer seemed most likely when he publicly stated that he wouldn't extend his contract with PSG after the summer of 2024. PSG criticized Mbappe and suggested that he wouldn't get playing time if he didn't engage in contract negotiations. What transpired in those discussions is unclear, but Kylian Mbappe is back in the PSG jersey, and he just keeps on impressing with 5 goals in 3 starts.
Lautaro Martinez has been Inter's top scorer for many seasons, but he hasn't managed to become the top scorer in Serie A. However, this season, it may just be his name at the top of the list. He has started the season fantastically with 5 goals in 3 games and is currently the top scorer in Serie A, closely followed by Olivier Giroud with 4 goals.
Last year, it was Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe who scored the most goals in Europe in all competitions, and it could very well be a battle between the two of them once again. However, Lautaro Martinez seems like a man who is scoring everything he touches now, and he has a good chance of surpassing his own Inter record for the most goals in Serie A, which stands at 21. Harry Kane at Bayern Munich has also had a promising start, and he's likely to score a lot of goals this season as well, making him a player who will certainly be in the race for Europe's top goal scorer.
