Federico Dimarco has already broken the Serie A assist record, while Michael Olise and Bruno Fernandes are one away from equalling the Bundesliga and Premier League marks
As the season moves into its decisive stretch, the assist race across Europe’s top leagues is producing one of the most compelling individual battles still alive. Two of the leading names are now just one assist short of matching the all-time single-season records in the Bundesliga and the Premier League, while Serie A has already seen its benchmark broken.
This week, Winsportsonline examined the players across Europe’s top 7 leagues with the most assists in 2025/26, looking both at overall totals and at how much of each team’s attacking output is being supplied by one footballer.
That wider view shows two different types of creative dominance. One is built on pure assist volume. The other is measured by how central a player is to his side’s goals overall.
When the focus shifts to the players themselves, Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise sits at the top of the overall ranking with 20 league assists, placing him ahead of Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes on 19 and Inter’s Federico Dimarco on 18. But the second chart points to a different kind of influence. Getafe’s Luis Milla has directly supplied 32.14% of his side’s league goals, the highest share in the report, with Fernandes close behind on 31.67%, underlining not only how often he creates, but how heavily United’s attacking output depends on him.
Key Takeaways:
- Michael Olise currently tops the assists ranking across Europe’s Top 7 Leagues with 20 in 29 Bundesliga appearances
- Bruno Fernandes follows on 19 and remains one assist away from matching the Premier League single-season record of 20
- Federico Dimarco ranks third with 18 and has already set a new Serie A single-season assists record
- The Bundesliga has four players in the top 11 for total assists, more than any other leagueLuis Milla has assisted the highest share of his team’s goals, directly supplying 32.14% of Getafe’s total
- Bruno Fernandes combines elite volume with importance, assisting 31.67% of Manchester United’s league goals
Footballers with the Most Assists
Across Europe’s Top 7 Leagues in 2025/26
No player in Europe’s top leagues has produced more assists than Michael Olise. The Bayern Munich attacker leads the overall chart with 20 in 29 Bundesliga appearances, which also gives him the strongest assists-per-match rate in the ranking at 0.69. In a season full of high-end creative output, he remains the clearest example of a player combining consistency, volume, and efficiency in the final third.
Fernandes is next on 19 assists in 31 Premier League matches, averaging 0.61 per game. That return keeps him firmly in the hunt for the English top-flight record and places him ahead of every player outside the Bundesliga leader. Inter’s Federico Dimarco completes the top three on 18 in 32 Serie A appearances, at 0.56 per match, and his campaign already carries historic weight after setting a new competition record.
The rest of the top 11 shows where the strongest concentration of creators sits this season. Bayern place a second player in the top four through Luis Diaz, who has 16 assists in 29 Bundesliga outings. Joey Veerman follows with 14 for PSV, while Julian Ryerson and Francisco Trincao each have 13 for Borussia Dortmund and Sporting respectively. Lamine Yamal and Joao Carvalho are next on 12, while Bazoumana Toure and Mika Godts complete the ranking on 11 each. The Bundesliga supplies four of the 11 leading names, more than any other league, which underlines the depth of creative production in Germany this season.
Footballers Who Assisted the Highest Share
of Their Team’s Goals in Europe’s Top 7 Leagues in 2025/26
The second chart changes the perspective by asking a different question. Rather than focusing on raw volume alone, it measures how much of a team’s total scoring has been directly supplied by one player. That is where Luis Milla moves to the top. Getafe have scored 28 goals in La Liga, and Milla has assisted 9 of them, giving him a share of 32.14%. No other player in the study accounts for a larger proportion of his side’s scoring.
Bruno Fernandes ranks second here as well, and that is what makes his season especially strong. The Portuguese playmaker’s 19 assists account for 31.67% of Manchester United’s 60 Premier League goals, which means he is not only closing in on the Premier League assist record, but also shouldering one of the heaviest creative burdens in Europe’s top leagues.
Andrej Ilic is third in the second chart, with 9 assists accounting for 25.71% of Union Berlin’s 35 goals. Ludovic Ajorque follows after assisting 24.39% of Brest’s total, while Jarrod Bowen has supplied 23.81% of West Ham’s goals. Joao Carvalho also stands out here, as his 12 assists make up 23.53% of Estoril’s 51 league goals, giving him a place near the top in both pure output and team dependence.
Federico Dimarco appears in the second chart too, though in a slightly different light. His 18 assists are the third-highest total, yet Inter’s 80 league goals mean his share stands at 22.50%. That is still enough for a place among the leading names, though it also shows how a player can deliver a historic individual season in a team where goals are spread across a wider attacking structure.
Further down the ranking, Mohamed Ihattaren has assisted 22.22% of Fortuna Sittard’s goals, Gil Dias accounts for 20.51% of Famalicao’s total, Souffian El Karouani reaches 20.41% for Utrecht, and Ryerson rounds out the top 11 on exactly 20.00% for Borussia Dortmund. Together, those numbers show that the most important creators are not always the ones with the very highest raw assist totals.
Taken side by side, the two charts highlight two different kinds of creative influence. Olise leads Europe by pure assists, Milla leads by share of team goals assisted, and Fernandes comes closest to dominating both rankings at once. That balance between volume and dependence is what makes the assist race across Europe’s top 7 Leagues so revealing in the closing stretch of the season.
