IFFHS MEN'S WORLD BEST INTERNATIONAL GOAL SCORER 2025
IFFHS Men's World Best International Goal Scorer 2025 at 30 September: Harry Kane
Quite expectedly, September brought massive changes. The mighty threesome, prolific in the past month, make a new podium of the international goal-scorers’ 2025 contest.
Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland have scored within this period 7 international goals each. Harry Kane has notched 5 – but it was enough for him to grab a solitary lead in the new chart with 18 goals, while the Norwegian star stood with one goal behind him and the Frenchman with three.
