10. Carlos Bacca, Sevilla – 9 goals in 13 appearances
The striker has been a breakthrough star at Sevilla despite being 28-years-old and there are many sides keeping a close eye on the Colombian.
9. Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal – 9 goals in 12(1) appearances
Just sneaking into ninth by virtue of the fact one of his games was as a substitute, Sanchez has been in fine form for the Gunners following a £35m move from FC Barcelona.
8. Carlos Tevez, Juventus – 9 goals in 11(1) appearances
Next up is an Argentine enjoying a renaissance period in his career and Tevez is looking to help spearhead Juve to another Serie A title.
7. Lionel Messi, FC Barcelona – 10 goals in 13 appearances
Even when Messi is supposedly playing below par the Argentine manages to find the net impressively frequently, although he is some way behind his great rival.
5=. Alexandre Lacazette, Olympique Lyon – 11 goals in 16 appearances
Joint top-scorer in Ligue 1 this France international has also been grabbing the attention of some of the biggest clubs on the continent.
5=. Andre-Pierre Gignac, Olympique Marseille – 11 goals in 16 appearances
Alongside Lacazette in the scoring charts is this fellow Frenchman, who looks to be guiding Marcelo Bielsa’s Marseille side to a shock title victory.
4. Neymar, FC Barcelona – 11 goals in 9(3) appearances
Many think the Brazilian has struggled since his 2013 move to the Nou Camp, but his scoring record this term suggests otherwise.

2. Sergio Aguero, Manchester City – 14 goals in 12(2) appearances
Yet ahead of Costa in the Premier League scoring charts is this 26-year-old, with Aguero also having shown fine scoring form in the Champions League.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid – 20 goals in 12 appearances
Leading the way – predictably – is the current holder of the Ballon d’Or trophy who in typical fashion has scored way more goals than games he’s played.
