Most attacking players either create goals or score goals – but stars from Barcelona, Manchester City and PSG are among those to do both at the start of the 2022-23 season.
Using data from transfermarkt, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 players from Ligue 1, the Bundesliga, Premier League, La Liga and Serie A in terms of their combined goals and assists contributions.
We doubt you’ll be too surprised at the identity of number one…
=10. Jonathan David (11)
It’s amazing that none of Europe’s big beasts have taken David from Lille but, with nine goals and three assists in Ligue 1 already, we’d bet huge sums against him remaining at the club this time next year.
=10. Harry Kane (12)
Gareth Southgate has a few selection headaches with injuries and key players out of form, but one thing he doesn’t need to worry about is how his captain and best player is performing.
There are some question marks over how Antonio Conte has Tottenham performing this season, but Kane looks at his very best (11 goals and one assist in 14 Premier League appearances).
=10. Niclas Fullkrug (12)
Probably the least well-known name to feature here, Werder Bremen forward Fullkrug is suddenly enjoying a rich vein of form.
The 29-year-old has 10 goals and two assists, despite Bremen faltering in the lower half of the Bundesliga this season.
=5. Kevin de Bruyne (13)
We’re getting to a point where we have to consider De Bruyne as the best midfielder the Premier League has ever seen.
The Belgian pulls off something ridiculous every week and appears to have struck up an instant understanding with Man City’s new star striker Erling Haaland. De Bruyne has assisted four of the striker’s league goals (10 in total – the joint-most in Europe’s big leagues with Messi) and has scored a further three goals for good measure.
KDB! 🔥

=5. Kylian Mbappe (13)
One of the more predictable names on this list, Mbappe has 11 goals and two assists in 13 Ligue 1 appearances. All that despite reportedly being displeased by the position he’s being played in this season.
That all sounds about right.
=5. Jamal Musiala (13)
The 19-year-old, who spent most of his upbringing in South London, has seen the void left by Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich and decided to step up and become the Bundesliga’s new MVP.
Eight goals and five assists…
