The international break has been hard on us, as we’ve been used to non-stop club football since August. At the moment Generation:Football has no intention of covering the Nations League, as the World Cup is approaching rapidly. Instead we have decided to take a look at the top performers in each of the top leagues! We will discuss goals and assists!
Premier League
Goals
| Name | Club | Goals | |
| 1 | Erling Haaland | Manchester City | 11 |
| 2 | Harry Kane | Tottenham Hotspur | 6 |
| 3 | Aleksandar Mitrović | Fulham | 6 |
| 4 | Ivan Toney | Brentford | 5 |
| 5 | Gabriel Jesus | Arsenal | 4 |
Not a lot of surprises here, as our top expensive transfer of the summer mercato, Erling Haaland leads the way. There were people who thought he will have a slower starter, but so far the Norwegian never found it hard to adapt to new leagues in his short, yet impressive career.
Kane is as prolific as ever, while Mitrovic is still enjoying life at Fulham. Ivan Toney from Brentford and new Arsenal signing, Gabriel Jesus comples our top 5 for the Prem.
Assists
| Name | Club | Assists | |
| 1 | Kevin De Bruyne | Manchester City | 6 |
| 2 | Bukayo Saka | Arsenal | 4 |
| 3 | Roberto Firmino | Liverpool | 3 |
| 4 | Gabriel Jesus | Arsenal | 3 |
| 5 | Jack Harrison | Leeds United | 3 |
If we said we are not surprised by Haaland leading the goals chart, what can we say about this one, eh? No matter who is upfront, Belgian maestro, KDB will always be one of the top assisters in the league.
Interesting to see that we actually have two players from leaders, Arsenal in the top 5. Both Saka and Jesus are having a very good time so far. Liverpool’s Firmino(even though his assists come from the same match) and Leeds’ Jack Harrison complete the top 5.
La Liga
Goals
| Name | Club | Goals | |
| 1 | Robert Lewandowski | Barcelona | 8 |
| 2 | Borja Iglesias | Real Betis Balompié | 6 |
| 3 | Iago Aspas | Celta Vigo | 5 |
| 4 | Vinícius Júnior | Real Madrid | 4 |
| 5 | Rodrygo | Real Madrid | 3 |
Similar to Haaland, the other Bundesliga export, Robert Lewandowski has been brilliant at Barcelona. He already scored 8 goals, in only 6 games, helping Barcelona achieve a goal difference of 18:1 in these games. Also his main rival for the Pichichi award, Karim Benzema is currently injured, thus the gap increased by a lot.
Speaking of Real Madrid, Vini Jr is on 4 goals, while, Rodrygo, Valverde and the aformentioned Benzema are all on 3. Borja Iglesias from Betis is 2nd on 6 goals, while Celta’s Aspas is on 5.
Assists
| Name | Club | Assists | |
| 1 | Kang-in Lee | RCD Mallorca | 3 |
| 2 | Alejandro Balde | Barcelona | 3 |
| 3 | Hugo Guillamón | Valencia | 3 |
| 4 | João Félix | Atlético Madrid | 3 |
| 5 | Robert Lewandowski | Barcelona | 2 |
So far there is not a lot between the top assist providers in La Liga, but it’s clear to see how influential 21 years old, South Korean midfielder, Kang-in Lee is for Mallora. Other players with 2 assists are Balde, Guillamon and Felix. There are about 10 players on 2 assists.
Bundesliga
Goals
| Name | Club | Goals | |
| 1 | Sheraldo Becker | 1. FC Union Berlin | 6 |
| 2 | Niclas Füllkrug | Werder Bremen | 5 |
| 3 | Jamal Musiala | Bayern München | 4 |
| 4 | Daichi Kamada | Eintracht Frankfurt | 4 |
| 5 | Christopher Nkunku | RB Leipzig | 4 |
While it’s hard to tell whether there will be anyone capable of scoring at a similar rate as Lewandowski, Bundesliga has some exciting attacking talent. Becker, a 27 years old attacker from Suriname is the revelation of the season, together with his team, Union Berlin.
19 years old Musiala is also up there, already having scored 4 goals, the same amount of last year’s second best scorer, Leipzig’s Nkunku. German veteran Fullkrug is on 5, while Frankfurt Japanese internation, Kamada is on 4. One would ask, where is Werner in all of this?
Assists
| Name | Club | Assists | |
| 1 | Randal Kolo Muani | Eintracht Frankfurt | 4 |
| 2 | Sheraldo Becker | 1. FC Union Berlin | 3 |
| 3 | Florian Kainz | 1. FC Köln | 3 |
| 4 | Saša Kalajdžić | VfB Stuttgart | 3 |
| 5 | Mitchell Weiser | Werder Bremen | 3 |
New French international, Kolo Muani is the top assist provider in Bundesliga so far. The 27 years old joined Frankfurt from Nantes, on a free transfer.
Serie A
Goals
| # | Name | Club | Goals |
| 1 | Marko Arnautović | Bologna | 6 |
| 2 | Ciro Immobile | Lazio | 5 |
| 3 | Teun Koopmeiners | Atalanta | 4 |
| 4 | Olivier Giroud | Milan | 4 |
| 5 | Dušan Vlahović | Juventus | 4 |
Austrian Striker, wanted by Manchester United in the summer, Marko Arnautovic is having the time of his life, being back in Europe, after two seasons in China. Even though Bologna are not a top club at the moment, he has already banged 6 goals.
Fellow veterans, Ciro Immobile and Olivier Giroud are also in the top 5, with 5 and 4 goals respectively. Atalanta’s Koopmeiners and Juventus’ Vlahovic are both on 4, same as Udinese’s Beto and Napoli’s Kvaradona!
Assists
| Name | Club | Assists | |
| 1 | Sergej Milinković-Savić | Lazio | 5 |
| 2 | Gerard Deulofeu | Udinese | 5 |
| 3 | Roberto Pereyra | Udinese | 4 |
| 4 | Piotr Zieliński | Napoli | 3 |
| 5 | Rafael Leão | Milan | 3 |
Another summer passed and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is still at Lazio. There was always a sense that the now 27 years old Serbian midfielder is destined for bigger things, but it seems there is no big club who is willing to pay the big bucks to make him leave Rome. Anyway, he is on 5 assists, same as Spaniard, Gerard Deulofeu.
They are followed by another Udinese player, Roberto Pereyra, who is on 4. Napoli’s Zielinski and Milan’s young starlet, Rafael Leao are both on 3.
Ligue 1
Goals
| Name | Club | Goals | |
| 1 | Neymar | Paris Saint-Germain | 8 |
| 2 | Kylian Mbappé | Paris Saint-Germain | 7 |
| 3 | Terem Moffi | Lorient | 6 |
| 4 | Florian Sotoca | RC Lens | 5 |
| 5 | Mama Baldé | Troyes | 5 |
It’s safe to say that we won’t have to mention the name of the club the top players belong to, a lot, when it comes to Ligue 1. Neymar is first, after a sensational start of the season with 8 goals. The Brazilian has been in the form of his life and we don’t see any reason why he would stop, at least until the World Cup.
His team mate, Kylian Mbappe is second, with one less goal. 23 years old Nigerian forward, Moffi is 3rd, followed by Sotoca from RC Lens and Mama Balde from Troyes.
Assists
| Name | Club | Assists | |
| 1 | Lionel Messi | Paris Saint-Germain | 7 |
| 2 | Neymar | Paris Saint-Germain | 7 |
| 3 | Rémy Cabella | Lille OSC | 4 |
| 4 | Dango Ouattara | Lorient | 4 |
| 5 | Caio Henrique | AS Monaco | 4 |
Back to PSG for the assists chart, as Messi and Neymar are absolutely dominating it, both on 7 assists. This means Neymar is on 15 G/A and we are only in September! With a successful World Cup, surely there is anyone who can stop him from getting next year’s Balon d’Or.
There are a few players on 4 assists, Cabella from Lille, Ouattara from Lorient, Caio Henrique from AS Monaco and Maouassa from Montpellier.
Thanks for reading! We shall be back with similar content soon!
