There have been a plethora of outstanding individual performers across Europe, but some have been especially brilliant in front of goal.

Some are already renowned world-class internationals, while others are starting to make a name for themselves throughout the football universe.

With that in mind, here are the top scorers in all of Europe’s top five major leagues:

England: Sam Kerr (Chelsea, 21 goals)

Sam Kerr scored just once in her first season in the Women’s Super League, leading some to question the substantial price tag Chelsea paid for the Australian.

The striker proved all the doubters wrong this year, however, notching 21 goals in 22 games as the Blues won their second consecutive title.

With Fran Kirby and Pernille Harder ably supporting the Matildas star, Emma Hayes has put together one of the most formidable forward lines in the whole of Europe.
