Top 10 Assist Leaders in Europe’s Big Five Leagues for 2026-27: Gordon, Gakpo and More

Top 10 Players with Most Assists in Europe's Major Leagues 2026-27

Last season, Bruno Fernandes led Europe’s top five leagues in assists. Now, as the new season unfolds, several players are making their mark in the race to provide the most assists across the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1.

We’re focusing solely on league matches, and when players are tied on assists, the one with fewer minutes played ranks higher due to a superior assist ratio.

10. Evanilson – 3 assistsEvanilson has tripled his assists compared to last Premier League season but is yet to score. His assists came against Manchester City, Everton, and Brentford, though Bournemouth still awaits their first win this season.

9. Cody Gakpo – 3 assistsAll of Gakpo's assists for Liverpool have been for Alexander Isak, including two in a single victory over Ipswich. After some doubts over his future, he’s responded well this campaign.

8. Dani Olmo – 3 assistsDespite mostly coming off the bench in La Liga, Olmo has supplied three assists for Barcelona. The club’s attack looks formidable with Raphinha leading goal scoring and also matching three assists, though missing this list due to minutes played.

7. Matthias Ginter – 3 assistsA defender standing out, Ginter has three assists from three Bundesliga games for Freiburg, including two in a 5-0 rout of Borussia Monchengladbach.

6. Mariano Diaz – 3 assistsOnce a prolific scorer at Real Madrid reserves and Lyon, Diaz is off to a strong start with Alavés this season, tallying three goals and three assists in six appearances, only starting twice.

5. Andy Diouf – 3 assistsAfter limited time at Inter last year, Diouf has made an impressive start in Serie A, matching three assists in just three starts. His shift to wing-back may have opened new creative spaces for him.

4. Panos Katseris – 3 assistsThe sole Ligue 1 player here, Katseris plays right wing-back for Lorient. He assisted each of their last three goals, helping secure a win over Lens and a draw with Toulouse.

3. Javi Hernandez – 4 assistsNot the former Manchester United striker, this Hernandez made his La Liga breakthrough after returning to Espanyol. He provided assists in each of his first three top-flight matches, including one versus Real Madrid.

2. Paulo Dybala – 4 assistsDybala has bounced back from injury to support Roma’s push into the Champions League again. His connection with Donyell Malen is evident, assisting all three goals of Malen’s hat-trick against Fiorentina and adding another assist against Atalanta.

1. Anthony Gordon – 4 assistsAfter moving to Barcelona from Newcastle, Gordon has hit the ground running in La Liga. Coming on as a substitute on his debut, he assisted twice within minutes, then added assists against Rayo Vallecano and Valencia. With his previous best assist tally being 10 in a Premier League season, he seems on track for a new personal record.
