Al Ahly midfielder Imam Ashour has emerged as one of the leading goal scorers in world football in 2025, ranking third in the list of top scorers so far this year.
Ashour has netted nine goals for the Egyptian giants, placing him behind only Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembélé, who leads with 11 goals, and Al Hilal’s Brazilian forward Marcos Leonardo, who has scored 10.
Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé follows in fourth place with eight goals.
The 26-year-old’s impressive goal tally highlights his growing influence at Al Ahly, where he has played a pivotal role in the team’s attacking play.
His performances have drawn attention both domestically and internationally, as he continues to showcase his goal-scoring prowess from midfield.
Dembélé, who made a high-profile switch from Barcelona to PSG, has been in scintillating form, leading the global scoring charts.
Leonardo, meanwhile, has been a revelation in the Saudi Pro League, proving to be a key asset for Al Hilal.
Ashour’s position among such elite goal scorers is a testament to his form and effectiveness in front of goal.
His goal-scoring run has been instrumental in Al Ahly’s push for domestic and continental success, solidifying his status as one of the most prolific midfielders in the game this year.
With the year still in its early stages, Ashour will be looking to build on his performances and potentially climb higher in the rankings as he continues to shine on the global stage.
