Antoine Semenyo - 7 Goals

The Black Stars forward improved his numbers with a strike against Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League on Saturday.

The English-born forward has netted seven league goals, the most by a Ghanaian in Europe this season, per Transfermarkt.

Semenyo has been by far the best player at Bournemouth this season, playing a starring role in Andoni Iraola's team, who are currently on a run of 11 matches without a defeat.

Jordan Ayew - 4 Goals

A veteran in the English Premier League, having played for several clubs including Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, is having a decent campaign for strugglers Leicester City.

Often deployed on the flanks, Ayew has scored four goals this season in the Premier League, his last being in the game against Liverpool.

He is also Ghana's all-time top scorer in the most popular league in the world.

Inaki Williams - 4 Goals

Williams has contributed ten goals in La Liga this season, however, he has scored only four. While his overall performance has been admirable, his scoring rate has dropped this season after netting 12 times in the last campaign.

Mohammed Kudus - 3 Goals

Kudus has had a purple patch campaign, with some highs and lows. Despite missing five matches following his suspension after a red card in the match against Tottenham Hotspurs, Kudus has managed to score three league goals. His strong header in the game against Brighton salvaged an important point for the Hammers.

Augustine Bokaye - 3 Goals

A lot of attention has not been on the former West Africa Football Academy graduate because of a slow start to Ligue 1 with St Etienne.

However, in the last four games in France, Boakye has scored three goals, making him the Ghanaian player with the most goals in Ligue 1 this season.
