Erling Haaland remains firm as the top European scorer with a month and a half to go before the end of the season. The Norwegian has risen to the top of the scoring charts with 32 goals in 28 games of the Premier League, taking a huge advantage over ‘cracks’ like Víctor Osimhen and Kylian Mbappé. Only the Ecuadorian Enner Valencia has been able to follow in the Norwegian’s footstepsadding 27 goals in 24 games with Fenerbahçe.
The podium of ‘pichichis’ is completed by the Japanese Kyogo Furuhashi, who has converted a total of 23 goals in 30 appearances for Celtic Glasgow. In fourth place is Harry Kane, author of 23 goals in 31 games with Tottenham.
