Ollie Watkins [11]

In an era where players are increasingly judged based on their attacking numbers, we’ve ranked the top twenty players in Europe that have registered double figures for both goals and assists. Players across seven different European leagues feature in the list with four English Premier League stars ranking in the top ten - Manchester City's Phil Foden sits just outside in 11th place with Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez 12th.

Pedro Neto has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting wingers in the English Premier League this season. Wolves are surpassing expectations amid financial constraints under the increasingly impressive Gary O’Neil and Neto has been instrumental to their success. 

The January transfer window was largely dominated by the furore around the returning Ivan Toney, with the Brentford striker heavily linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and many other top clubs. That’s because strikers are in demand. Since Erling Haaland revitalised the traditional number nine role in England, scoring goal after goal at centre-forward for Manchester City, the old-school number nine is back in fashion. And top clubs around Europe are searching for their own out-and-out goalscorer in an attempt to keep up with last season’s treble winners.

A World Cup golden boot winner, England’s all-time top scorer, and the second highest goalscorer in Premier League history, there’s do doubt that, if fit, captain Harry Kane is the first name on England’s team sheet at the Euros this summer. However, his recent ankle injury, has highlighted the question of: who do the Three Lions turn too if Kane is unavailable? This recent international break has given the opportunity for an audition for the most likely pair of strikers ready to try and fill Kane’s boots. It has also made the possibility of Kane missing out realistic. A back up plan may be needed.
