Premier League Players’ Goal Contributions at World Cup 2026

Real Madrid tops the list with 12 goals, thanks largely to Kylian Mbappe scoring five for France and Vinicius Junior adding four for Brazil. England’s Jude Bellingham has contributed two goals, and Turkey’s Arda Guler scored in their narrow 3-2 win over the USA, though that victory wasn’t enough for Turkey to advance past the group stage.

Chasing the Leaders

Paris Saint-Germain players have netted 11 goals so far. Ousmane Dembele leads with four goals, while Bradley Barcola has scored twice. Others including Desire Doue, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, and Ibrahim Mbaye have each added a goal for their countries.

Bayern Munich comes next with 10 goals, half of which belong to Harry Kane. Yet, unexpected contenders lie just behind.

Surprise Contenders from Sunderland and Crystal Palace

Both Sunderland and Crystal Palace players have bagged eight goals at this tournament, placing them above several Premier League rivals such as Arsenal and Manchester United (seven goals each), Liverpool (six), Newcastle, and Manchester City (five apiece). Goals for Sunderland and Crystal Palace include efforts from Grant Xhaka and Daniel Munoz, respectively.

Assists Tell Another Story

Liverpool leads in assists with 12. Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have three assists each, and Mohamed Salah, who is expected to leave Anfield this summer, has set up two goals. Other contributors include Ryan Gravenberch with two assists, plus Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk with one assist each.

Among these players, only Salah remains active in the tournament representing Egypt after Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands were knocked out in the round of 32.
