The race for the 2024/25 European Assists King crown is heating up, with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah currently leading the pack with 11 assists.
Salah narrowly edges out Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, who has 10 assists despite facing a spell on the sidelines due to injury. Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is a close third with nine assists in La Liga.
Other notable contenders include Lazio’s Nuno Tavares (8 assists), Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz (8 assists), and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush (8 assists).
The early stages of the season saw a tight race, with several players, including PSG’s Joao Neves and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, enjoying impressive starts. Palmer, in particular, registered three assists in a single match against Wolves, demonstrating his creative potential.
Yamal has also been a standout performer, contributing significantly to Barcelona’s impressive start to the campaign. The battle for the European Assists King crown promises to be a closely contested affair throughout the remainder of the season.
