Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe are in red hot form this season bagging almost a goal involvement in every game for both the club and country this season so far. After a long time, the world of football is witnessing three strikers dominate the goal scoring numbers in Europe.
Mbappe has bagged 18 goal involvements for club and country, but despite such numbers he's only the third highest goal scorer in Europe.
Harry Kane is breathing fire with every passing game with stellar performances for Bayern Munich and England, scoring 22 for club and country. The 32-year-old reached 20 goals in just 12 games for Bayern Munich, becoming the fastest player ever to achieve this feat in the history of the Top 5 leagues.
On the other hand, Manchester City's prolific No. 9 Erling Haaland is currently leading the goal-scoring charts with 24 goals for Manchester City and Norway, appearing to be completely unstoppable.
As things stand, these three appear to be the firm favourites to compete for the 2026 Gerd Muller trophy and even the FIFA Ballon d' Or.
Kane vs Haaland vs Mbappe: Our prediction for the European golden boot and the Ballon d'Or
Rank 1- Erling Haaland: The Norwegian Goal Machine
Erling Haaland has broken almost every possible goals scoring record for his age in Europe. The 25-year-old has also become the fastest player to reach a century of goals in the Premier League and also the youngest to do so.
The Norwegian international has also steered his nation into the FIFA World Cup 2026 for the first time in 37 years with his stellar performances in the World Cup qualifying stages.
The 25-year-old has proven himself to be a pure fox in the box thanks to his killer finishing instinct. However, his weakness seems to be in his hold up play as he gets very few touches on the ball during a game and depends solely on his explosiveness in front of goal which limits his creativity but increases his threat up top when he receives service.
Rank 2- Kylian Mbappe : The Speeding Gun
Kylian Mbappe is easily one of the best and most consistent forwards in Europe right now. The French international has the ability to take on defenders with breathtaking skills and steaming speed which makes him incredibly difficult to defend against.
His biggest strength is that he's able to switch positions quickly and operate on the wings and centrally simultaneously which gives him a huge edge over other strikers who mostly depend on service from the midfield.
His ability to create chances while also possessing superb finishing makes him our second pick amongst Europe’s top three strikers.
Rank 3- Harry Kane : The Unsung One
Harry Kane is one of the most underrated strikers who has been dominating goal scoring numbers for years in the Premier League and now in the Bundesliga.
The 32-year-old is considered one of the most intelligent strikers in the world with his superb playmaking skills along with positioning up top. He lacks pace but makes up for it with his playmaking and creativity.
He often drops deep into the pitch as a false nine to create chances up top for his teammates especially Michael Olise at Bayern Munich this season. This makes him incredibly difficult to mark and stop his movements on the pitch.
His all-rounder abilities on the pitch along with deadly finishing makes him our pick amongst the three strikers on Europe’s Top-3 list right now.
