Top 5 players with the most shots per game in Europe’s major leagues so far this season

#3 Michail Antonio (West Ham) — 4.5

Michail Antonio has contributed to more than half of West Ham goals so far this year

Arguably, Michail Antonio is the most surprising emergence of this season in the Premier League. The 31-year-old is amidst the top runners after being directly involved in eight goals off six games. The same amounts to more than half of the total number of goals scored by West Ham so far this year.

David Moyes and Co. continue to excel each season and they have taken it a notch higher this term. The Hammers sit 9th in a closely contested top half of the league and Michail Antonio deserves all the credit.

The Jamaican international has been consistent in front of goal and very much effective in the final third. As per recent stats, Michail Antonio tests a goalkeeper on an average of about 4.5 times per game. For the aforementioned reasons, he remains David Moyes' trump card.

#2 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) — 4.6

Robert Lewandowski is a top contender for the Ballon d'Or this year

A top contender for the Ballon d'Or this year, Robert Lewandowski is the next player on our list. The Polish striker has been at the top of his game for quite some time now.

The 2020 Ballon d'Or had to be canceled due to the pandemic. If it hadn't been, Robert Lewandowski would have had the most coveted individual accolade under his belt already. Nevertheless, the same seems to have only fueled the Bavarian striker's hunger further.

Running a rampage last season, the former Dortmund striker netted 41 goals from 29 Bundesliga games. He continues to find the back of the net this year too. With an average of 4.6 shots per game, Lewandowki has scored seven goals so far.

#1 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) — 5.2

Haaland has lived up to the moniker of 'The Terminator'

By now we should perhaps get used to having Erling Haaland on top of every stat sheet. The Norwegian forward is a certain threat in front of goal. Having been directly involved in 10 goals from five Bundesliga games so far this season, he has lived up to the moniker of 'The Terminator'.

Haaland leaves his competitors behind by a distant margin with the average shot attempts being 5.2 per game. Erling Haaland is believed to be a future Ballon d'Or winner. And in the way he has been improving game-after-game, it looks all the more certain.

The former RB Leipzig striker is one of the few players to be equally impactful at club and national level. That too, across all competitions.
