10. Jonathan David 🇨🇦 Lille, Canada
As his contract with Lille runs out this summer, Jonathan David remains a sought-after striker among the most regular goal-scorers in Ligue 1 over the past few years. Having 104 goals for Lille overall, the Canadian forward has scored double figures in all five of his Ligue 1 seasons.
David is among Europe’s best-scoring forwards once more since he already boasts 20 goals this season. Europe’s top teams have made him a prime target since he can time runs, link with colleagues, and finish with both feet.
With extensive negotiations, Barcelona is apparently winning the race for his signature. David personally has mentioned his respect of the team, saying:
“Playing for a team when you grow up supporting one is a dream..”
Whether he gets a move to Camp Nou, his exploits have clearly established him as among the top strikers in the world right now.
Nine Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest, New Zealand) 🇳🇿
Not many players this season have exceeded expectations quite like Chris Wood. The 33-year-old New Zealand international has been in amazing form for Nottingham Forest, helping the team to retain an improbable top-four challenge by scoring 14 goals in 22 Premier League games.
Originally on loan from Newcastle United in January 2023, Wood later moved permanently. Having just been at the club for slightly over two years, he has already exceeded Bryan Roy’s all-time Premier League best score.
Under manager Nuno Espírito Santo, who assumed responsibility in December 2023, his influence has become even more pronounced. 25 of Wood’s 29 targets for Nottingham Forest have come since Nuno’s arrival, demonstrating exactly how successful the tactical system has been for the seasoned forward.
8. Julián álvarez 🇦🇷 Atlético Madrid, Argentina
Julián Álvarez moved to Atlético Madrid, where he has at last been given the chance to shine as a first-choice striker, after spending much of his time at Manchester City as a backup to Erling Haaland. Making the most of his more playing time, the Argentine forward has scored 16 goals this season and is absolutely important for Atlético’s assault.
Atlético Madrid, now second in the La Liga standings, has gained from Álvarez’s explosive movement, pressing power, and lethal finishing. Working with Antoine Griezmann, his cooperation has been especially successful since the two forwards fit Diego Simeone’s system well.
7. Serhou Guirassy (Guinea, Borussia Dortmund)🇬🇳
Serhou Guirassy, one of the least appreciated strikers in world football, has shown great performance this season. Although he does not get the same attention as stars from larger clubs when playing for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, his skills speak for themselves.
With eighteen goals in twenty-six games and three assists, the Guinea international has been rather constant. He is among the most dangerous strikers in Germany since he can find room in the box and finish clinically.
Guirassy has shown his caliber despite great resistance, scoring against premier clubs including Barcelona in the Champions League group level. Though Borussia Dortmund suffered in the game, Guirassy proved he belongs among the finest in Europe.
Kylian Mbappé🇫🇷 Real Madrid, France
For many years, Kylian Mbappé has been recognized as among the top forwards in the world; his performance this season only serves to support this opinion. Carlo Ancelotti, manager of Real Madrid, lately gave him a call:
“The outstanding striker in the world,”
stressing his capacity to lose defenders and flourish in crucial zones.
Although Mbappé has mostly been used as a left winger over his career, this season he has functioned more centrally where he has thrived. For opponents, his speed, dribbling, and deadly finishing make him a menace.
With 15 goals in 20 games thus far this season, the France captain ranks among the leading scorers in La Liga, right behind Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona. Mbappé will be absolutely vital for Real Madrid’s success as they pursue silverware both locally and abroad.
Reversing the ranks as asked, this version keeps your professional tone, thorough stats, and organization. Tell me whether more tweaks are needed.
5. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich, England)🏴esome
Long considered as one of the best attackers of his time, Harry Kane’s transfer to Bayern Munich only serves to confirm that point of view. The England captain scored 31 goals in his first season, therefore wasting no time adjusting to life in the Bundesliga.
Among international football’s most flexible strikers, Kane’s ability to score from anywhere—inside the box, long-range efforts, even free kicks—makes him But his lack of silverware has been the one complaint directed against him over his career. Unbelievably finishing third in the Bundesliga last season, Bayern Munich meant Kane’s hunt for a big club prize would continue.
With Bayern seated 10 points clear at the top of the table and Kane once more dominating the scoring statistics, things are looking better this season. Should Bayern go on to triumph in the Bundesliga and have a strong Champions League campaign, Kane may at last quiet the critics evaluating him based on his trophy cabinet.
4. Viktor Gyökeres 🇸🇪 Sporting CP, Sweden
Viktor Gyökeres has swept over European football landscape. He adjusted fast to the Portuguese division after leaving Coventry City to Sporting CP and developed into one of its best players. He is among the finest goal-scorers in Europe thanks in part to his physical presence and precision finishing skill.
Gyökeres, with 22 goals and 3 assists in 18 Liga Portugal games this season—along with 6 in the Champions League and 6 in domestic cup competitions—currently ranks among the leads in the European Golden Boot race. Particularly striking have been his efforts in European contests, notably a hat-trick against Manchester City that declared him on the grandest platform. Should he keep at this pace, he will inevitably find himself in one of Europe’s top five leagues.
3. Alexander Isak🇸🇪 Newcastle United, Sweden
Alexander Isak has made analogies to Thierry Henry—and for good reason—since he joined Newcastle United. In front of goal, the Swedish forward combines speed, agility, and composure in a singular manner. His tall physique lets him glide past opponents with ease, and his capacity to open his body for exact finishes reminds me of the Arsenal great.
Isak has returned Newcastle’s faith in him by thus far this season scoring 19 goals. Whether he is leading the line or playing off a fellow attacker, his confidence and self-assurance on the pitch makes him a continual hazard. Should he keep on this course, he might become among the most complete forwards in the game.
2. Erling Haaland, Manchester City, Norway🌻�🇴
Few football players in past times have coupled goal-scoring intuition with raw agility quite like Erling Haaland. Blessed with blazing speed, the Norwegian attacker is a terrible presence in the penalty area standing at 1.94 m (6’5″.
Haaland has maintained his amazing performance in the Premier League, racing to 25 goals this season despite occasional difficulties for Manchester City. Although some contend he lacks the all-around playability of other top attackers, his finishing is unparalleled. Remarkably young, he is still the most prolific scorer in world football with a goal-per- game ratio that matches the best of the game.
1. Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona, Poland)🇵
Having dominated the Bundesliga for eleven years, Robert Lewandowski made the audacious move to La Liga. Despite Barcelona’s erratic performance, he has stayed among Europe’s best marksmen. The Polish striker combines the best qualities of a contemporary center-forward—intelligent movement, aerial supremacy, and brutal finishing.
Lewansky’s efficiency in front of goal is unmatched, even if he is not as physically striking as Erling Haaland or as explosive as Kylian Mbappé. Having already scored thirty goals this season, he ended the 2023/24 season with 26 goals in all competitions. He is a problem for defenders because of his ability to locate room in confined spaces and finish with both feet.
Many feel Lewandowski was unfairly deprived of a Ballon d’Or in 2020 since the trophy was canceled during the COVID-19 epidemic. Had it not been for it, he most certainly would have included the most esteemed individual prize from football to his trophy-filled career.
