While the calendar year 2023 ends in a few days, the ranking of the top scorers from January to date has changed very little. In this updated list, the top of the table is occupied by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland while Gabonese international Dénis Bouanga occupies 6th place with 40 goals ahead of Santiago Gimenez, Romelu Lukaku, Karim Benzema and Lautaro Martínez.
The 2022-2023 sports season will have been very successful for several African footballers playing in Europe and even America. If Victor Oshimen was awarded the African Golden Ball for this year, another son of the black continent could have been included in the top of the best players. This is Gabonese international Denis Bouanga who is on cloud nine with Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer.
Bouanga, an underrated goleador!
Long presented as a nonchalant player in front of goals, Denis Bouanga has in turn been able to transform his weaknesses into strengths, particularly since his arrival in Major League Soccer (MLS), the Gabonese international is on fire. Statistics that are little valued on a continental scale since he did not appear in the list of preselected for the title of best African player of the year 2023 awarded by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). However, he is in pole position among African scorers.
Indeed, in this updated top 10 which includes the best fireworks from the biggest leagues, number 20 of the Panthères du Gabon is in a well-deserved 6th place. His 40 goals scored in all competitions (TCC) make him number 1 in Africa. Worldwide, only Cristiano Ronaldo, Erling Haalang with 50 goals and Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé with 49 each do better. A status quo then since Germán Cano also has 40 shots on the clock. Far from the new Golden Ball Victor Osimhen.
