IFFHS Men’s World Best Goal Scorer 2025 at 30 April: Ousmane Dembélé
Ousmane Dembélé is still the sole leader of IFFHS ranking for global goal-scorers 2025. His productivity at the end of April (26 goals) is the world’s highest for this period in the current decade. Only Robert Lewandowski has scored as many in the first 4 months of 2021.
However, April was Dembélé's least productive month of the year, adding only 3 goals to his tally.
In second place we see Viktor Gyökeres, who dominated the ranking in 2024. At the beginning of this year he was a bit in shadow, but thanks to a strong April period (10 goals - more than anyone else in the world for that month), he moved up and is now just one goal shy of the leader.
Győkeres is now ahead of his pace last year with 25 goals (he had 23 as of the end of April).
