Look who’s beating Kylian Mbappe in top goalscorers of 2024 list | OneFootball

Michy Batshuayi and Kylian Mbappe are top scorers of 2024

Erling Haaland scored 44 goals in 2023 and that kept him clear of the competition despite playing no football in the final weeks of the year.

He ended 2023 one goal ahead of Harry Kane and one more ahead of Kylian Mbappe, and that trio will be expected to dominate 2024 again for Manchester City, Bayern Munich and PSG.

The criteria: All club goals in all competitions for clubs in Europe’s top 10 leagues.

10) Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus) – 6 goals No domestic cup stat-padding for Vlahovic; that’s simply six goals in five Serie A games in 2024 to double his total for the season.

9) Jonathan David (Lille) – 6 goals Another grateful recipient of goals against part-time opposition in the cup but he has started 2024 brightly in Ligue Un too.

8) Arnaud Kalimuendo (Rennes) – 6 goals France Under-21 striker who has started 2024 like a rocket as Rennes have had a purple patch of form.

7) Luuk de Jong (PSV Eindhoven) – 7 goals PSV have dropped four points in the entirety of this Eredivisie season and De Jong’s form – at the age of 33 – is a major factor.

6) Evanilson (Porto) – 7 goals Arsenal have been strongly linked with the Brazilian who has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season.

5) Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco) – 7 goals It helps if you play a Ligue 2 side in the cup, but the French veteran has reached double figures for Ligue Un goals for the fifth consecutive season.

4) Cengiz Under (Fenerbache) – 7 goals Back in Turkey after six years away, it was all pretty underwhelming until he scored four goals in 68 minutes v Istanbulspor.

3) Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting) – 8 goals No wonder he is a target for half the super-clubs in Europe. The former Coventry man has casually scored four braces in 2024.

2) Kylian Mbappe (PSG) – 9 goals Being drawn against a side in the sixth tier of French football is handy when you want to make a quick start to the new year. Mbappe scored a hat-trick in a 9-0 win before adding two more goals v a third-tier side. But he’s also scored two Ligue Un goals in three games.

1) Michy Batshuayi (Fenerbahce) – 9 goals Very much playing second fiddle to Edin Dzeko, but the former Chelsea striker smashed in four v Adanaspor in the cup before being sent straight back to the bench. From where he’s absolutely lethal.
