The International Federation of Football History Statistics (IFFHS) counted and announced the most goals scored so far in 2024 on its website on the 4th (Korea time). As of 2024, the best goal scorer in the world was surprisingly 'Chinese Messi'Urei (Shanghai Haigang). Urey has scored 35 goals in 35 official matches this year. He showed off his phenomenal scoring ability of one goal per game. Wu Lei, who left Spain's Espanyol for China, scored 28 goals in 28 games in the Chinese Super League this year. He scored three goals in three FA Cup and Super Cup matches and four goals in four national teams.
Wu Lei used to say that he was a 'wall class player'. Looking at the numbers, it seems that his evaluation is correct. However, despite such an amazing scoring record, Wu Lei is not highly evaluated. Even in his own country, he is being criticized for not falling short of the class of foreign strikers. In particular, the Chinese national team is getting smaller. Despite many expectations, Wu Lei is consistent with his worst play in the World Cup qualifiers as well as the last Asian Cup. In the second Asian qualifying round for the 2016 North-China World Cup against South Korea, he was criticized by fans for his poor performance.
Wurray is full of wolks underneath. Swedish striker Viktor Yorekesi, who is now in the spotlight of all Europe, is second with 33 goals. Yorekesi has shown tremendous scoring ability with 33 goals in 33 games. Yorekesh, who plays for Sporting Lisbon, has clubs called Naero lined up to recruit. He is followed closely by Uruguayan Martin Cauterucio (31 goals in 31 games) who plays for the Peruvian club.
Manchester City's top striker Holan is in fourth place with 30 goals in 29 games. Holan has scored in all three games since the opening of the English Premier League this season. Two of them were hat tricks. He has virtually reserved the top scorer this season with seven goals in three games. Mbappe, who moved to Real Madrid this summer, and Ronaldo, who continues his constant scoring race for Saudi Arabia, ranked 10th overall with 26 goals in 26 games.
