The race for the European Assists King of the 2024/25 season is heating up, and Barcelona’s teenage prodigy, Lamine Yamal, is making a strong push to dethrone Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.
At just 17, Yamal continues to dazzle in La Liga with nine assists, trailing Saka’s league-leading tally of 10. Fresh off a stellar Euro 2024 campaign, where he proved pivotal for Spain, Yamal’s form has been nothing short of electric. His ability to carve open defenses with vision and precision has not only made him a fan favorite but also thrust him into the spotlight as a key contributor for Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Saka remains the Premier League’s assist maestro, thriving in an Arsenal side brimming with attacking talent.
Yamal’s closest challengers include Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Lazio’s Nuno Tavares, each with eight assists, while a chasing pack of top talents, including Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, sits on six.
With Yamal’s rapid rise and Barcelona’s title ambitions, the teenage sensation could well surpass Saka to claim the throne as Europe’s top creator.
