Reijnders leads the line with most goals scored among top-five league midfielders | OneFootball

Tijjani Reijnders has been tremendous all season for AC Milan and after the goal last night, he further cemented his position as the best-scoring midfielder in the top-five leagues.

The Dutchman arrived at Milan for the 2023-24 season and initially struggled with the goalscoring, often missing good chances. This season, however, has been the complete opposite as he now has 14 goals in all competitions (10 in Serie A, 3 in Champions League and one in the Coppa Italia).

As highlighted by Sky Italia, Reijnders is the midfielder – excluding wingers and attacking midfielders – with the most goals in Europe’s top-five leagues. It’s a remarkable stat considering he doesn’t take penalties for Milan, even if you could argue that he’s sometimes had an attacking midfielder-esque position.

It’s no surprise that big clubs are knocking on the door for a transfer, with Man City expressing an interest, but Reijnders renewed his contract with Milan at the beginning of March. In other words, he has no intentions of leaving and the Rossoneri certainly don’t want to sell him.

Hopefully, he will continue on the current path for the season finale as Milan still have the Coppa Italia to fight for. The return leg against Inter is scheduled for April 23rd, following the 1-1 draw in the first leg.
