5 players with the most goal contributions in 2021/22

The 2021/22 season is well underway around Europe, with clubs in action on a regular basis in order to ensure that they win trophies come the end of the season. With club football on a two-week sabbatical due to the international break, it gives managers time to plan and adjust their tactics in order to be more successful.

As usual, there have been a few standout performers this season and here, we take a look at five players who have the most goal contributions across Europe in 2021/22.
