#3 Erling Braut Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) | 82 goals
Erling Braut Haaland is the best young striker in the world. 'The Terminator' is already a world-class player.
Trending
The 21-year-old boasts an excellent goalscoring record since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2020. Last season, in 28 Bundesliga games, Haaland registered 27 goals and eight assists. This time around, in just six Bundesliga games, he has nine goals and four assists.
Haaland is unlikely to remain at Borussia Dortmund next season. The Norway international is attracting heavy interest from some of the top clubs in Europe. Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid are all keen to sign the young superstar. Haaland and Mbappe are regarded by many as the heirs to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's thrones.
#2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus / Manchester United) | 83 goals
Cristiano Ronaldo is showing no signs of slowing down. The star forward continues to be the difference-maker for both club and country.
Juventus were poor last season, but Ronaldo scored 29 league goals to win the Capocannoniere award. At the Euros this summer, the Portugal international won the Golden Boot. Ronaldo completed an emotional return to Manchester United this summer, and has already made some vital contributions.
In seven Premier League games, the 36-year-old has scored four goals. Ronaldo's impact at Manchester United has been immediate, both on the field and in the dressing room. He might not be the threatening presence on the wings he once was, but he remains a world-class striker.
#1 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) | 101 goals
Who else? Robert Lewandowski has seemingly perfected the art of goalscoring, and almost always finds the net.
Bayern Munich acquired Lewandowski on a free transfer in 2014, and this is one of the best deals in the history of the sport. The Poland international is one of the best players in the world, and has a serious chance of claiming the Ballon d'Or award this time around.
Lewandowski was the best player in the world during the 2019-20 season, when Bayern Munich won the continental treble. He should have won the Ballon d'Or award last year, but the award itself was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last season, he scored 41 Bundesliga goals to break Gerd Muller's record of most goals (40) in a single Bundesliga campaign. This season, he has already scored 12 league goals in ten games.
