With 19 goals scored for Napoli in the calendar year 2023, Victor Osimhen stands alone at the top of the goal scorers’ rankings in the five major European leagues.
As the top scorer of the previous season, Victor Osimhen has started the new campaign in the same vein. The Nigerian striker netted a brace in Napoli’s victory over newly promoted Frosinone (3-1) this weekend, in the first round of Serie A. This strong start allows the Super Eagles’ forward to take the lead in the goal scoring charts of the top 5 leagues.
Indeed, with his two goals, the Partenopei’s striker has amassed 19 goals in the calendar year 2023. He currently sits ahead of Harry Kane (2nd, 18 goals) and Erling Haaland (3rd, 17 goals). It’s worth noting that this ranking takes into account goals scored from the beginning of 2023 until the end of the year on December 31st.
The contenders still have four months left in the year to compete for the title of the top goal scorer of 2023. The question remains: which of these formidable goal scorers will lay their hands on the prestigious trophy for the best goal scorer of the year? The competition promises to be intense until the very end of the year.
Top 5 goal scorers in Europe in a calendar year: Victor Osimhen: 19 goals Harry Kane: 18 goals Erling Haaland: 17 goals Lautaro Martinez: 16 goals Santiago Gimenez: 14 goals
