THE FOOTBALL season is well underway and we’re now starting to see which players have got straight back to business.
The ten players with the most goal involvements in Europe’s top five leagues this season is filled with the usual suspects – as well as a few shock names and a little known star leading the way.
Mohamed Salah continues to be his consistently terrific self as he sits in ninth place with seven goal contributions already this season.
While RB Leipzig loanee Xavi Simons, AC Milan’s Olivier Giroud and PSG star Kylian Mbappe all have the seven contributions too.
However they have all managed to rack them up in fewer minutes than the Merseyside man.
Robert Lewandowski is still living up to Thomas Muller’s affectionate nickname for him (LewanGOALski) with five goals already this season and a further three assists for Barcelona.

His eight contributions are matched by Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface who has six goals and two assists in the Bundesliga this term.
And his stunning start sees Xabi Alonso’s side currently level on points with Bayern Munich at the top of the German table.
After his record breaking campaign last term it’s no surprise that Erling Haaland is the highest ranked Premier League player on the list.
The big Norwegian has eight goals and one assist already this season and is on track to smash his goals tally from last season if he continues at this rate.

Haaland will be thankful that his golden boot competitor Harry Kane has left the league in favour of a switch to Bayern.
With the Bavarian new boy already netting seven times AND registering three assists in the Bundesliga this season.
But despite his outrageous start to life in Germany, Kane misses out on both top spot in this list and in the Bundesliga top scorers list.
Serhou Guirassy has already registered an unfathomable TEN GOALS and one assist in just five matches and takes the crown in this top ten.
The 27-year-old Stuttgart striker has been in the form of his life and is just one goal away from matching his best goal scoring season in his career.
Guirassy joined the German outfit this summer in a permanent deal from Stade Rennais after impressing on a season long loan last term.
It seems unlikely that the Guinea international will continue his remarkable rate of a goal contribution every 39 minutes all season.
But if he carries on playing the way he is you’d imagine there will be a number of top clubs from all over Europe banging on the door of last season’s 16th place finishers in the Bundesliga.
