Youssef En-Nesyri reached a significant personal milestone on Sunday, scoring his 18th Turkish Super Lig goal of the season in Fenerbahçe’s latest win, equalling his highest-ever league tally from the 2020–2021 campaign with Sevilla.
The Moroccan forward opened the scoring against Eyüpspor, helping set the tone in what turned into a dominant performance by Fenerbahçe.
The goal marked his second in as many games, having also netted during his side’s commanding 4-1 victory over İstanbul Başakşehir the previous week.
En-Nesyri’s form has been a major boost to Fenerbahçe as they continue to challenge fiercely at the top end of the table.
His 18 goals in the Turkish top flight mirror the number he recorded during his breakout season in Spain’s La Liga four years ago, where he emerged as a key figure in Sevilla’s attack.
Beyond the league, En-Nesyri has enjoyed a prolific all-round campaign in his debut season in Turkey.
Across all competitions, the 26-year-old has scored 28 goals and provided 5 assists in 49 appearances — a return that stands as his best-ever season in terms of total goal contributions.
The Moroccan’s consistent performances have quickly cemented his status as a fan favourite at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
His clinical finishing and physical presence have added a new dimension to Fenerbahçe’s attacking play, which has proven instrumental in their push for domestic success.
His current run of form also reflects a level of consistency that many had seen glimpses of during his time in Spain, but which has flourished further in his new surroundings.
While En-Nesyri has now matched his previous best in league play, the forward still has games remaining this season to surpass that mark and set a new personal benchmark.
With the title race entering its final phase and European competition still in view, his goals could yet prove decisive.
For both player and club, this season has become a narrative of resurgence, precision, and ambition.
En-Nesyri’s contribution is not just measured in numbers, but in timing and impact — the mark of a striker playing with purpose and confidence.
