In this post, we will be looking at the most clinical forwards in Europe’s top five leagues.
We have removed any player who has not played more than 50% of their games as a No. 9.
The xG difference (via WhoScored stats) will be used to measure who is the most lethal finisher. The more goals they have scored from a lower xG, the better. For that reason, Erling Haaland, whose xG score this campaign is -0.5 (22 league goals scored from 22.5 xG), does not make the list.
Press the next page as we count down the top 5 best finishers in Europe over the course of the 2025/26 season.
