Will Bukayo Saka be the 2025/2026 top UCL goal scorer?

“Saka, as a winger, rarely tops UCL scoring charts; competition from prolific strikers like Mbappé, Haaland, Lewandowski makes this very unlikely. Without specific evidence he's leading late in the tournament, low probability.”

“Top UCL scorer is usually a central striker on a deep-run team. Saka is elite but not a pure 9, shares goals, and Arsenal’s path plus competition from Haaland/Mbappe/Kane-type scorers makes him a long shot.”

“Saka is a winger, not a pure striker; top UCL scorers are typically central forwards like Haaland, Mbappé, or Lewandowski. His goal tally is usually lower.”
