Vlahovic races past Arsenal star to become 2024 highest goalscorer in Europe’s top five leagues

Stephen Oladehinde 18:26 - 26.02.2024

Dusan Vlahovic has rocketed to the top of the scoring charts in Europe's elite leagues, leaving behind Arsenal's electrifying winger Bukayo Saka in his wake.

With a remarkable nine goals in just seven Serie A outings this year, the Juventus sharpshooter is redefining the art of goal-scoring, making headlines and setting the pace in 2024's scoring race.

Vlahovic's Goal Scoring Frenzy

"Serbia international Vlahovic netted twice in Juventus’ 3-2 win over Frosinone on Sunday," capturing the essence of a striker in sublime form.

This brings his tally to an awe-inspiring nine goals in seven Serie A matches in 2024, averaging a goal every 68 minutes on the pitch.

Not just any player becomes the top scorer in Europe's top five leagues, but Vlahovic has done just that, overtaking Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, who has tallied seven goals in six Premier League appearances, as reported by Football Italia.

Europe's Elite in the Scoring Race

The goal-scoring chart is a tight race with some of football's brightest stars shining through. Following Vlahovic and Saka is Canada's sensation Jonathan David.

Linked with moves to Italian giants Milan and Napoli, David has impressed with six goals in five Ligue 1 appearances for Lille, boasting an incredible rate of a goal every 57 minutes.

Not far behind in the scoring spree are Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund, Borussia Dortmund's Niclas Fullkrug, and Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, each having netted six times in their respective leagues so far in 2024.

At the heart of Juventus' attack, Vlahovic's contract at the Allianz Stadium runs until June 2026, and with 15 goals in 25 appearances across all competitions this season, he's proving to be worth every penny of his contract.
