Harry Kane has established a massive lead at the top of the European goalscoring charts for 2026, outpacing his closest rivals after Kylian Mbappe dominated the previous calendar year. Football365 examines the top ten goalscorers across Europe’s top ten leagues, determined by all club goals in all competitions with minutes per goal serving as the tie-breaker.
From Vedat Muriqi to Lamine Yamal
Vedat Muriqi (Mallorca/Fenerbahce) occupies tenth place with 22 goals, propelled by a four-goal haul and an assist in Fenerbahce’s 8-0 thrashing of Eyupspor and a strike against Alanyaspor. Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen) also sits on 22 goals, having scored in each of his six Bundesliga appearances this season alongside Europa League goals. Donyell Malen (Roma) has scored 24 goals, following a January move that helped return his club to the Champions League and nine goals in his opening nine games of the new season. Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) has reached 25 goals, entering the top ten courtesy of multiple braces in La Liga. Erling Haaland shares the 25-goal mark, having recently ticked off the final Premier League team on his list by scoring against Sunderland, alongside Champions League strikes. Vangelis Pavlidis (Benfica) matches that 25-goal tally with 15 goals already in the current campaign, including a hat-trick in a 7-0 league victory and goals in Europa League qualifying. Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) also sits on 25 goals, having started the new campaign under Jose Mourinho with 12 goals in 12 appearances, including a hat-trick against Real Sociedad.
The Top Three Goalscorers of 2026
Raphinha (Barcelona) holds third place with 28 goals, having transitioned to playing up front following Robert Lewandowski’s departure and started the new season in prolific form. Luis Suarez (Sporting) stands in second place with 31 goals, seamlessly replacing Viktor Gyokeres as the Portuguese league’s top scorer and continuing his form into the new season with Champions League goals against Galatasaray and Lens. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) leads the pack comfortably with 41 goals, having reached his 500th career goal in February and breaking the 40-goal barrier before any other player reached 30. Kane recently became the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, achieving the milestone in just his 98th game, while averaging a goal every 71 minutes for Bayern this year.
