Erling Haaland is named the greatest scorer in Europe’s top five divisions in 2023.

The Manchester City striker had a terrific year for the Citizens, helping them win a treble.

While he did not finish 2023 as the world’s greatest scorer for club and country, he did accomplish another remarkable feat.

Erling Haaland finished 2023 as Europe’s top five league goal scorer.

Haaland finished 2023 as the leading scorer in all tournaments in Europe’s top five leagues.

The top five leagues are Serie A in Italy, Bundesliga in Germany, Premier League in England, Ligue 1 in France, and La Liga in Spain.

With Haaland in first place, Sports Brief looks at the remaining top five scorers in 2023.

Erling Haaland – 44

The Norwegian striker is always looking to demonstrate his dangerousness.

Haaland leads the league in all competitions with 44 goals, with 19 already scored since the current season began in August 2023.

Despite not being able to add to his total since December 6, the former Borussia Dortmund star ended first.

According to Goal, the attacker suffered a foot injury on that date and has yet to appear for the team.

Harry Kane – 43

The former Tottenham Hotspur forward is maximizing his time in Germany.

Kane has now scored 25 goals in five months since moving from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich. He scored 18 goals in England during the next seven months.

Kane has also smashed records in England, including one held for many years by Haaland.

Kylian Mbappe – 42

Mbappe is a highly sought-after player for good reason.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker scored 21 goals between January and August, and another 21 between August and the end of the year.

Despite a goal-scoring slump and a lack of assists following the departures of Neymar and Messi, Mbappe hit the back of the net on a regular basis.

The year 2024 might be a watershed moment for the French captain, as he will either leave or sign a new contract with the Ligue 1 champions.

Lautaro Martinez – 37

The Argentine striker began 2023 as a World Cup champion, but his Inter Milan team was defeated by Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League final.

Martinez has now scored 17 goals in the 2023/24 season after scoring 20 goals for the third time in his career at the Italian club.

Martinez is poised to become Serie A’s highest-paid player when Inter signs a new contract to keep him in Italy, according to highest-paid.

Mohamed Salah – 30

Liverpool’s Egyptian star may not have hit his past seasons’ heights, but that doesn’t make him any less deadly.

Salah has already scored 16 goals since August, and 14 more are on the way in the first half of 2023.

This season, the Egyptian striker has also achieved an unprecedented feat: he has broken into the top ten all-time Premier League scorers.
