Viktor Gy\u00f6keres extended his record-breaking scoring sequence for Sweden, and Jude Bellingham emerged as one of the competition\u2019s leading creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UEFA\u2019s official statistics show that six players\u2014Olise, Kane, Yamal, Gy\u00f6keres, Troy Parrott and Leo Walta\u2014have scored four goals each. Bellingham and Martin \u00d8degaard lead the assist standings with four apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following ranking is based on combined goals and assists from matches completed through October 5.

Michael Olise \u2013 France<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Four goals, two assists and six goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Olise was the most productive attacking player of the international window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bayern Munich forward recorded four goals and two assists in four Nations League appearances, despite starting only twice. He accumulated those six goal contributions in just 212 minutes\u2014an average of one direct contribution every 35 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olise scored a late winner against Belgium, produced an outstanding finish in France\u2019s draw with Italy and then delivered two goals and an assist during the extraordinary 4-1 comeback victory over Belgium at the Stade de France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His influence against Belgium was particularly impressive. Olise entered from the bench, assisted Rayan Cherki and then scored twice as France turned a 1-0 deficit into an emphatic victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UEFA officially credits Olise with four goals, two assists and an 86.75% passing accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Harry Kane \u2013 England<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Four goals, one assist and five goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harry Kane remains one of international football\u2019s most reliable goalscorers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The England captain registered four goals and one assist across his first three matches of the Nations League campaign. He produced a two-goal performance as England overwhelmed Croatia 7-0 and also contributed in the matches against Spain and Czechia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kane recorded five direct goal contributions in only 223 minutes, giving him an average of one goal or assist every 45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His Nations League statistics also include nine attempts and an impressive 89.34% passing accuracy. Those figures demonstrate that Kane is contributing to England\u2019s buildup play as well as finishing chances inside the penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Leo Walta \u2013 Finland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Four goals, one assist and five goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leo Walta was one of the international window\u2019s biggest surprise performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Finland midfielder scored twice within six minutes during the 7-0 victory over San Marino. He then added another brace as Finland defeated ten-man Albania 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four goals from midfield placed Walta level with Kane, Olise, Gy\u00f6keres, Parrott and Yamal at the top of UEFA\u2019s scoring chart. He also contributed one assist, taking his overall tally to five goal involvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walta\u2019s form has been crucial for Finland, who scored nine goals during their opening matches and remained firmly involved in the promotion race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Lamine Yamal \u2013 Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Four goals, one assist and five goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lamine Yamal continued to strengthen his reputation as one of the world\u2019s most dangerous young attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barcelona winger scored against England at Wembley, struck twice against Croatia and added another goal during Spain\u2019s 3-1 victory over Czechia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yamal produced four goals and one assist in only 203 minutes. His four goals came from 12 attempts, meaning one-third of his shots resulted in goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UEFA\u2019s official player page lists Yamal as the competition\u2019s leading scorer aged 21 or younger. He averaged 1.34 goals per match across his first three appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spain\u2019s match against Croatia on October 6 gives Yamal an opportunity to move clear in the top-scorer race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Orri \u00d3skarsson \u2013 Iceland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Three goals, two assists and five goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orri \u00d3skarsson delivered one of the most complete centre-forward performances of the international window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Iceland striker contributed three goals and two assists across his opening three matches. That means he was directly involved in five of Iceland\u2019s seven goals before their final October fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00d3skarsson scored twice during Iceland\u2019s 3-0 victory over Bulgaria and also combined his goalscoring threat with intelligent link-up play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His contribution helped Iceland move to the top of their League C group and strengthened the country\u2019s push for immediate promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Jude Bellingham \u2013 England<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: One goal, four assists and five goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jude Bellingham was the leading creator of the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Real Madrid midfielder registered four assists in three appearances, placing him level with \u00d8degaard at the top of UEFA\u2019s official assist chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bellingham created Anthony Gordon\u2019s goal against Spain and continued to influence England\u2019s attacking play in victories over Czechia and Croatia. He also scored during the 7-0 demolition of Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond his five direct goal contributions, Bellingham completed 91.34% of his passes. He achieved those numbers while playing only 200 minutes, averaging one goal contribution every 40 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres \u2013 Sweden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Four goals and four goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Viktor Gy\u00f6keres scored in every match Sweden played during the international window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Arsenal striker found the net in victories over Romania and Poland, the 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sweden\u2019s 1-0 away victory over Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His winning goal in Bucharest extended his remarkable run to seven consecutive Nations League matches with a goal\u2014a competition record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gy\u00f6keres finished the window with four goals from 11 attempts. He also reached 25 senior international goals and helped Sweden move onto 10 points at the top of Group B4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His international form also sends a strong message to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta following his limited Premier League minutes behind Kai Havertz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Troy Parrott \u2013 Republic of Ireland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Four goals and four goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troy Parrott emerged as the Republic of Ireland\u2019s most important attacking player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Real Betis striker scored four goals across Ireland\u2019s four Nations League matches, including the equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Israel on Matchday 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parrott recorded his four goals from only nine attempts, giving him one of the strongest conversion rates among the competition\u2019s leading scorers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UEFA credits the 24-year-old with four goals in four appearances. His performances kept Ireland competitive in a difficult group and placed him alongside some of Europe\u2019s most established forwards at the top of the scoring chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix \u2013 Portugal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Three goals, one assist and four goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix enjoyed a productive window as Portugal established themselves at the top of their Nations League group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forward scored three times and contributed one assist. His goals included the winner against Norway and another important finish as Portugal continued their unbeaten start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">F\u00e9lix\u2019s intelligent movement allowed him to operate around Gon\u00e7alo Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo, while his ability to find space between midfield and defence made him difficult to track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With four direct goal contributions, F\u00e9lix demonstrated that he remains an important part of Portugal\u2019s attacking plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Anthony Gordon \u2013 England<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statistics: Three goals, one assist and four goal contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anthony Gordon scored three times in England\u2019s opening three matches, finding the net against Spain, Czechia and Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barcelona winger also provided an assist, taking his overall total to four direct goal contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gordon\u2019s speed and direct running gave England an effective outlet on the left wing. He attempted 10 shots, recorded seven efforts on target and completed 89.67% of his passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UEFA also credits Gordon with one assist, confirming his growing contribution beyond goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Mention: Martin \u00d8degaard Leads the Creative Stars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martin \u00d8degaard narrowly misses this ranking under the goals-scored tiebreaker, but his creative statistics deserve recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Norway captain registered four assists in four matches, placing him level with Bellingham at the top of the UEFA Nations League assist standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00d8degaard completed 90% of his passes, created 11 chances and played every minute of Norway\u2019s four matches. However, he did not score, leaving him behind players with the same number of combined contributions but more goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Leads the UEFA Nations League Scoring Chart?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six players share the lead with four goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Michael Olise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harry Kane<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leo Walta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lamine Yamal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Troy Parrott<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olise leads the combined goals-and-assists ranking because he has also provided two assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bellingham and \u00d8degaard lead the assist chart with four each, while Belarus defender Kirill Pechenin follows with three assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With two league-phase matches remaining in November\u2014and several October 6 fixtures still to be completed\u2014the individual awards remain wide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who will finish as the UEFA Nations League\u2019s leading scorer?
