Victor Osimhen Among Top Scorers In 2024/25 UEFA Europa League

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen remains one of the leading goalscorers in the ongoing 2024/25 UEFA Europa League, despite Galatasaray’s exit from the competition. Following the Round of 16 first-leg fixtures, Osimhen is among a group of players chasing the tournament’s top scorer, Ayoub El Kaabi of Olympiacos.

El Kaabi Leads the Europa League Goal Chart

Olympiacos forward Ayoub El Kaabi currently sits atop the Europa League scoring chart with seven goals. The prolific striker cemented his position with a crucial second-half brace against Qarabağ in the group stage, although he has not added to his tally since then.

Despite Olympiacos progressing in the tournament, the 31-year-old Moroccan remains the leading scorer ahead of a group of six-goal contenders, including Osimhen.

Osimhen Among Chasing Pack With Six Goals

Several strikers, including Victor Osimhen, have six goals each in the competition. The Nigerian forward has been a standout performer for Galatasaray, but his campaign has been cut short following his team’s elimination by AZ Alkmaar in the Round of 16 playoffs.

Other players level with Osimhen on six goals include:

• Václav Černý (Rangers)
• Youssef En-Nesyri (Fenerbahçe)
• Malick Fofana (Lyon)
• Kasper Høgh (Bodø/Glimt)
• Samu (Porto)
• Barnabás Varga (Ferencváros)

With these players still in the competition, the race for the Golden Boot remains open, and they have the chance to overtake El Kaabi in the coming fixtures.

Other Notable Goal Scorers

A group of talented strikers follows closely with five goals each, including:

• Rasmus Højlund (Manchester United)
• Iñaki Williams (Athletic Club)
• Yunus Akgün (Galatasaray)

With the second leg of the Europa League Round of 16 set to take place next week, these players have the opportunity to increase their goal tallies and challenge for the top scorer’s spot.
