5 North American players with most Ligue 1 goals

#3 Theoson-Jordan Siebatcheu (USA) - 6 Ligue 1 goals

Theoson-Jordan Siebatcheu became the latest European-origin player to represent the USA.

Even though he has made two appearances with France's U21 side, Theoson-Jordan Siebatcheu recently announced he'd play for the USA, which makes him eligible for this list.

A product of Stade Reims, the striker has netted 17 times for them during the 2017-18 season, helping Les rouges et blancs earn promotion back to Ligue 1.

Before that, he struck thrice for them in the French top flight during the 2015-16 season as a 19-year old.

His only other goals in the Ligue 1 came with Rennes, where he showed great promise in his first year. But a lack of first-team opportunities saw him move to the Swiss Super League with Young Boys last year.

#2 Jonathan David (Canada) - 9 Ligue 1 goals

Jonathan David has been unstoppable since the turn of the year.

Here's another player from Lille and yet another Canadian after Alphonso Davies enjoying a stellar campaign in a major European league.

But what's also particularly impressive about Jonathan David is that he ranks so high despite playing in only his first-ever season in Ligue 1 this campaign.

He joined Les Dogues from Belgian side Genk last summer,and following a slow start, he's found his footing.

David has played a key role in keeping his side at the summit of the French league. He needs just three more goals to become the most prolific North American scorer in Ligue 1 history.

#1 Alejandro Bedoya (USA) - 11 Ligue 1 goals

Alejandro Bedoya captained Nantes for three years, playing almost a century of games.

Arguably the most marquee American to play in the Ligue 1 so far, Alejandro Bedoya has made 66 appearances for the USA team, winning two Gold Cups.

After lifting the first one in 2013, Nantes came calling for his services, where he enjoyed three decent seasons.

Bedoya was a regular in the side, making 96 appearances for the Canaries in all competitions and scoring 14 goals, including 11 in Ligue 1.

He was also the captain of the side throughout and truly led by example, providing a creative spark in moments of struggles and being one of the more vocal players on the field.

Alejandro Bedoya left Nantes for MLS side Philadelphia Union in 2016, where he's still in action.
