We are only weeks into the 2025-26 football season, and a handful of players have already set themselves apart with breathtaking performances and crucial contributions to their teams.
Here are the 5 best players of the season so far.
Harry Kane

The Bayern Munich striker continues his lethal form in the Bundesliga, following up last season’s haul of 44 goals with eight goals and three assists to start the new campaign.
Kane is in the form of his life, and under Vincent Kompany, the England captain is determined to win all trophies and cement himself as the world’s best striker.
Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe has adapted to life in Spain brilliantly since moving from PSG last summer. The France captain won the Pichichi in his debut campaign and has started like a house on fire this season, scoring at will.
He has scored seven goals and provided one assist in his first six league appearances, with his blistering pace and finishing making him a nightmare for defenders.
Erling Haaland

Manchester City’s prolific forward has started the Premier League season in red-hot form.
He has scored six goals in the first five games, continuing his incredible goal-scoring consistency and proving once again why he is one of the most feared strikers in the world.
