A new report has been published, looking at the players in world football, who have scored the most goals.
The report comes from the CIES Football Observatory and looks at the players who have scored the most goals in official club or national team matches (senior, U23 or U21) over the last year.
CIES Football Observatory reporting:
‘Sporting CP’s Swede Viktor Gyökeres is clearly at the top of the list with no fewer than 64 goals: 54 for his club and 10 at national team level.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City and Norway) and Harry Kane (Bayern Munich and England) complete the podium with 52 and 47 goals respectively.
In terms of goal frequency, the top three are Irishman Garbhan Coughlan of Cashmere Technical in New Zealand (one goal every 43 minutes), Japan’s Tomoyuki Doi of Geylang United in Singapore, and Uruguay’s Martín Cauteruccio of Sporting Cristal in Peru.’
As you can see, Alexander Isak is number 23 on this list, with 33 goals for Newcastle United and Sweden this past year (from 21 January 2024).
Obviously, many on the list have scored their goals at a far lower level, such as Mitro who is number 14 on this list.
