Meet the most prolific goalscorers in Europe's top 5 leagues in the 2019-20 season

T5. Jamie Vardy (Leicester City): 17 goals

Jamie Vardy has continued his prolific scoring run in the English Premier League since Leicester City won the 2015-16 Premier League title.

In the ongoing season, the English striker scored a hat-trick against Southampton in the midst of an eight-game scoring run - the longest in the English top-flight since Vardy himself in Leicester City's title-winning season.

Vardy's 17 goals are the most scored by a Premier League player in the 2019-20 season, one goal clear of Manchester City's Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero who has scored 16 goals this season.

3. Timo Werner (Leipzig): 20 goals

Timo Werner's rich vein of form has been instrumental in Leipzig taking the numero uno spot in the German top-flight after 19 games of the ongoing 2019-20 Bundesliga season.

The 23-year-old striker has scored hat-tricks against Borussia Monchengladbach and FSV Mainz 05 as he joined Robert Lewandowski as the second player to hit the 20-goal mark after 18 matchdays of the ongoing 2019-20 season.

20 - For the first time in #Bundesliga history, two players (Robert Lewandowski and Timo Werner) have hit the 20 goal mark after 18 matchdays of a season. Previously, only Gerd Müller had reached this mark, in 1968-69 (20 goals) and in 1972-73 (21). Brace. pic.twitter.com/vSNqlsB6hJ
