French Ligue 1 is not the same again. The league is now attracting a lot of attention since Paris Saint-Germain paid a World record fee of €222 million to sign Neymar from Barcelona. The Paris giant also signed the best young player today Kylian Mbappe. The fans want to know how the stars are doing and today we want to give you the latest goal charts list. We take a look at the top six best scorers in French Ligue 1;
6. Mario Balotelli- 5 goals
Nice forward Mario Balotelli is tied 6th together with Marseille attacker Clinton N’Jie. The two have scored 5 goals each in the last eight matches. The two clubs are in positions 10th and 3rd respectively. The season is no doubt taking shape in France.
5. Nabil Fekir- 5 goals (3 assists)
Lyon is currently 8th in the Ligue 1 table with 13 points after eight matches. The fans will thank striker Nabil Fekir for netting five goals so far. He has also assisted three more goals. Former Manchester United winger Memphis Depay has netted twice and assisted three more.
4. Mariano- 6 goals
Lyon is certainly up to something this season. They are creating and scoring a lot of goals. However, their biggest problem is at the back. This season they have scored 17 and conceded 13 goals. It is the worst record in the top 10. Mariano is currently the biggest contributor with 6 goals but no assist from him so far.
3. Neymar- 6 goals (5 assists)
Paris Saint-Germain paid a World record fee of €222 million to sign Neymar from Barcelona last summer. The 25-year-old has already shown why he was worth every penny. The Brazilian has netted 6 goals in his last 6 matches in Ligue 1. He might not be leading in the goal charts but he is the ahead on the assists list with five. He has 8 out of 8 he has played for the club. This means that he has either scored or assisted since he made his debut for the Ligue 1 side.
2. Edinson Cavani- 8 goals (2 assists)
Paris Saint-Germain last season top scorer is now facing a challenge from new arrivals Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The two are goal machines and the job has to be shared between them. He still leads the club charts with 8 goals and two assists so far in Ligue 1. The controversy surrounding penalties has also been resolved, he will share the responsibility with the World most expensive player.
1. Radamel Falcao- 12 goals (1 assist)
AS Monaco is not the same again after selling a good number of their best players last summer. Ligue 1 defending Champions are currently three points behind leaders PSG. However, they are doing ok given that they sold Kylian Mbappe, Bakayoko, Bernando Silva and Benjamin Mendy last summer.
The fans will also be happy that the League top scorer is a player from their team. Radamel Falcao is leading the goal charts with 12 goals in 8 matches so far. He has also assisted another goal. He has netted a goal every 55 minutes. The Columbian has re-discovered his form in the right time for club and country. Neymar will be itching to overtake him soon
