RB Leipzig star boasts better scoring rate than Mbappé and Kane

RB Leipzig forward Rômulo has averaged a goal every 79 minutes so far this season, equating to 1.13 goals per 90 minutes – putting him ahead of Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé (1.09) and Bayern Munich star Harry Kane (0.50).

After missing the start of the season through injury, RB Leipzig star Rômulo has made an impressive return, showing remarkable efficiency in front of goal in the Bundesliga.

The Brazilian forward needed just one shot to take his Bundesliga tally to five goals for the season in last week's 5-2 win over Augsburg. He has spent just 397 minutes on the pitch to score those five goals, averaging a goal every 79 minutes, or 1.13 goals per 90 minutes.

That puts him ahead of Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé, who has averaged 1.09 goals per 90 minutes in La Liga this season, and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, who has managed 0.50 in the Bundesliga.

Rômulo has also been remarkably clinical in front of goal, converting five of his 11 shots in the Bundesliga this season for an impressive rate of 45.5 percent.

To put that into perspective, Raphinha (FC Barcelona) and Mbappé have conversion rates of 39.5 and 20.3 percent respectively in La Liga, while Kane has converted 9.3 percent of his shots in the Bundesliga.

Having also scored in a 4-5 friendly defeat to Mladá Boleslav on Thursday, the 24-year-old will be looking to maintain his impressive form in front of goal when RB Leipzig travel to face Union Berlin on November 21 following the international break.
