"He is a striker in form, netting well over a goal a game, scoring in almost every match this season. He is leading his club's title charge and taking his country to the brink of the World Cup. Usually this would be a remarkable introduction for any one player. But this season it applies to not one, not two, but three of Europe's leading strikers."
"Kylian Mbappe has hit 17 goals in 13 matches for Real Madrid and France this season. But the 26-year-old is only Europe's third-most prolific striker. Harry Kane, 32, has bagged 19 goals in 12 matches for Bayern Munich and England. And Erling Haaland, 25, leads the way on 21 goals in 12 games for Manchester City and Norway. As you do."
"Haaland has been the most prolific of the trio this season with his 21 goals in 12 games coming at an average of one every 47 minutes. Kane's total of 19 in 12 equates to one every 52 minutes, and Mbappe is averaging one every 67 minutes with his 17 goals in 13 games. And only about half their goals have come in the league."
Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé are scoring at exceptional rates across club and international matches, creating a three-horse race for the European Golden Shoe. Haaland has 21 goals in 12 games, Kane 19 in 12, and Mbappé 17 in 13, with respective scoring frequencies of one every 47, 52 and 67 minutes. Only about half of their goals have come in league play. Other leading forwards have been hindered by injury, fitness or age—Ousmane Dembélé, Alexander Isak and Robert Lewandowski—while Viktor Gyokeres has proved unable to replicate his previous 63-goal campaign at Arsenal.
