  • Harry Kane has the most goals in Europe's top five leagues
  • Kylian Mbappe has scored 20 goals for Paris Saint-Germain
  • Jude Bellingham narrowly makes the top five with 16 goals

Harry Kane is the outright top scorer in Europe's top five leagues this season with 24 goals in his first season for Bayern Munich, after a summer switch from Tottenham Hotspur.

His remarkable goal-scoring feat could be swept under the carpet if the club, currently five points behind Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga table, fails to win the title.

Sports Brief looks at Europe's big five league's best goal scorers, as first analysed by Planet Football.

Europe's big 5 leagues top scorers

1. Harry Kane

Kane is no stranger to scoring goals. He is England and Tottenham’s all-time top scorer, but he is unfamiliar with what a trophy is. His move to Bayern could afford him opportunities to win trophies, but despite his 24 goals, the team is second in the league, having already lost the German Super Cup to RB Leipzig on his debut.

2. Kylian Mbappe

The French forward has hit 20 Ligue 1 goals already this season and is hardly getting any attention because of low attention to the league. It could be his final season in his home country, with multiple reports linking him away and his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

3. Lautaro Martinez

Inter Milan captain, Martinez, has scored 19 goals this season, making him the top scorer in the Serie A. This includes four goals as a substitute against Salernitana in a 35-minute cameo in September.

4. Serhou Guirassy

Guirassy is the only name on this list who is not the top scorer in his league, and this is due to Kane's exploits. The Guinean has scored 17 goals in 14 Bundesliga games for Stuttgart. Per The Athletic, he has a release clause of €17.5 million as he attracts interest from top European clubs.

5. Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham

The two friends and former Borussia Dortmund stars have scored 16 goals each this season for Real Madrid and Manchester City and are top of the scorers chart in Spain and England. Haaland recently returned from injury, while Bellingham suffered an injury at the weekend.

Bellingham urges Haaland to join Madrid

Sports Brief previously reported on Bellingham urging Haaland to join Madrid as rumours continue to circulate around the Norwegian striker’s future.

He is reportedly open to leaving Manchester City to boost his global appeal after missing out on the Ballon d'Or award as well as The Best FIFA award.
