As we enter another international break, the form is starting to settle and in leagues all around the world, some of the most lethal marksmen around are beginning to rack up goals left, right and center. Here is a round-up of how the top scorer standings look in a selection of leagues from around the world.
Premier League
Sergio Aguero- 8 Goals
Trending
In the early stages of the season, Manchester City have been blowing teams away once again just as they did last season. Aguero has eight league goals to his name in 12 appearances, including a goal in the Manchester Derby at the weekend.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang- 7 Goals
The Gabonese international has taken to life in the Premier League brilliantly and has an extremely impressive goals to minutes ratio. Despite not always starting this season he has still scored seven goals in 12 appearances for the Gunners and was rewarded with the Premier League Player of The Month award for October.
Eden Hazard- 7 Goals
The Belgian magician has been in scintillating form for Chelsea this season and during the early stages was almost carrying the side with his contributions. Hazard has found the back of the net seven times in 11 appearances so far for the Blues and Maurizio Sarri can owe a lot of his unbeaten PL record to his in-form winger.
Ligue 1
Kylian Mbappe-Lottin- 11 Goals
The teenage sensation is at it once again, and he appears to only be getting better. After sensational displays at the World Cup in Russia the Frenchman has continued his momentum and stands on 11 goals in 9 appearances at the start of the Ligue 1 season. He is only 2 goals short of his league tally for last year and looks set to obliterate that amount this time round.
Emiliano Sala- 10 Goals
Not the most familiar of names, but Nantes forward Emiliano Sala is in the form of his life and is scoring for fun in Ligue 1 so far. With 10 goals in total, his current hot streak of 7 goals in 4 games has seen him storm up the scoring charts and if he continues this form he will certainly make a name for himself.
Neymar- 10 Goals
The Brazilian trickster has been in excellent domestic form for PSG so far this season, and his 10 goals in 11 league appearances so far reflects that. In a rampant PSG side he appears to be the ringleader- when he plays well, PSG play well. With the way the Ligue 1 season is shaping up, who knows how many goals Neymar will end up with come May.
LaLiga
Lionel Messi- 9 Goals
Rather unsurprisingly the diminutive Argentinian leads the way at the top of the goalscoring charts in LaLiga going into the international break. Messi will be a huge favorite for the 'Pichichi' trophy this season and has made a brilliant start to the campaign with 9 goals in 10 appearances so far.
Luis Suarez- 9 Goals
With nine goals in 12 appearances so far this season, Luis Suarez is looking back to his best in a Barcelona shirt. The highlight of his campaign so far was a sensational hat-trick in the El Clasico against Real Madrid, where he rose to the occasion in the absence of Lionel Messi.
Iago Aspas- 8 Goals
It is hard to believe that the man who is scoring goals for fun in a Celta Vigo jersey is the same player who had such a miserable time at Liverpool in the Premier League. Eight goals in 12 appearances so far this season is a bright start for Aspas in a mid-table Celta Vigo side.
Christian Stuani also has 8 goals, but these include a penalty goal.
Italian Serie A
Krzysztof Piatek- 9 Goals
When you think of Serie A goalscorers, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Mauro Icardi, Gonzalo Higuain or Dries Mertens would be leading the way. However, there is a new goalscoring sensation in town and he isn't a household name. Piatek arrived at Genoa from Cracovia Krakow in Poland and has made a stunning impact with nine goals in 12 games.
Cristiano Ronaldo- 8 Goals
The major transfer of the summer saw Ronaldo swap Madrid for Turin, and he is enjoying his time with Juventus so far. After a relatively slow start for his standards, Cristiano now sits on eight goals in 12 appearances and looks like he is only just getting started.
Ciro Immobile- 8 Goals
Immobile banged in 29 goals last season for Lazio and he appears to be in fine form once again with eight goals in 12 appearances this campaign as he looks to reach 20+ Serie A goals for the third successive season.
German Bundesliga
Luka Jovic- 9 Goals
Frankfurt's young striker Luka Jovic has been in the form of his life so far this campaign racing ahead in the Bundesliga scoring charts with nine goals in nine games. He has already bettered last seasons tally and at the age of 20 there could be much more to come from the Serb.
Paco Alcacer- 8 Goals
Somewhat of a misfit at Barcelona, Alcacer has rediscovered the form that made Barcelona bring him to the Camp Nou in the first instance. Despite only starting twice, the Spaniard has eight goals in six appearances for Borussia Dortmund and his blistering form has seen his new side propel to the top of the Bundesliga table.
Alassane Plea- 8 Goals
The Frenchman is having quite the debut season at his new club since leaving Nice in Ligue 1. Borussia Monchengladbach will be delighted with Plea and his impact so far after eight goals in 11 appearances- the highlight of his brief stint so far being a hat-trick away at Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Sebastien Haller and Marco Reus are also on 8 goals, but these include penalty goals.
Indian Super League
Coro- 8 Goals
Ferran Corominas Telechea, better known as Coro, may be 35 years of age but his rate of scoring is showing no signs of slowing down. Last season he scored 18 goals for FC Goa, and this year he has continued his form with 8 goals in 6 games. Can his lethal finishing fire Goa to the title?
Bartholomew Ogbeche- 6 Goals
The veteran Nigerian striker has hit the ground running in his fledgling Indian Super League career. After scoring 10 goals last season for Dutch side Willem II in the Dutch Eredivisie, he has so far scored six goals in six games for his new club NorthEast United. Time will tell whether he can maintain this and use his experience to propel NorthEast up the table.
Sunil Chhetri- 4 Goals
No goalscorers list in the Indian Super League would be complete without this man. The evergreen goal machine has started the season as he means to go on, with four goals in five games so far. Bengaluru will be pinning much of their hope on the legendary striker, and it would take a brave man to doubt him.
