Who is the most efficient striker in Europe? We took a look at our database and looked at which player needs the fewest minutes per goal. For this we only took professionals from the top 15 leagues who scored at least ten goals across competition.
An old acquaintance from the Bundesliga is in first place and it is not Erling Haaland or Robert Lewandowski. Ricardo Pepi, who is record access of FC Augsburg with his transfer of 16.4 million euros, is currently under contract with PSV Eindhoven. For the Fuggerstädter, who had ended the Pepi chapter after six months, he remained without a goal in 16 games. In the eredivisia it runs much better and so the American gets 17 goals in 28 missions this season. For this, the 22-year-old needed an average of 60.8 minutes per hit.
This quota increasingly puts him into the focus of financial clubs. According to reports, West Ham United made an offer for a loan with a purchase option of 25 million euros. PSV had transferred 11 million euros to the FCA for the international in 2023.
