Lassine Sinayoko, the Paris FC forward, leads Ligue 1 with 9 goals in 10 matchdays and 5 assists. With Mali, he provided an assist against Rwanda (3-2) on matchday 3 of the CAN 2027 qualifiers.
Nine goals in ten Ligue 1 matchdays, five assists, and one more assist in the Mali shirt: Lassine Sinayoko has made a remarkable start to the season. The Paris FC forward tops the scoring charts, according to data published by Ligue1.com.
On Friday 13 November in Bamako, on matchday 3 of the CAN 2027 qualifiers, he played the full 90 minutes against Rwanda and provided an assist, according to FBref’s records. Mali won 3-2 and moved top of Group K.
Nine goals, nobody has more
The 2026-2027 Ligue 1 scoring charts place him alone at the top, with 9 goals in 10 matchdays. Behind him, Amine Gouiri and Estéban Lepaul have 7 goals each, according to Ligue1.com.
His output is not limited to finishing. With 5 assists, Sinayoko is the third-best provider in the league, behind Florian Thauvin (8) and Cristian Casseres Jr (6), again according to Ligue1.com. He therefore combines both registers: goals and assists, in the service of Paris FC.
xG puts Sinayoko on top
Ligue1.com also places him top of the xG rankings, with 6.99. This metric measures the quality of the chances a player gets and reinforces the picture of a forward who is highly prolific in front of goal.
This dual role of scorer and provider, combined with his place in the xG rankings, paints the profile of a forward at the heart of his team’s attacking play. The league figures, taken after ten matchdays, make the Paris FC forward one of the most productive players of this early Ligue 1 season.
Mali top of Group K
With the national team, Sinayoko started and provided an assist against Rwanda, according to FBref. Having fallen behind twice, the Eagles turned the game around thanks to Kamory Doumbia, Moussa Kounfolo Yeo and Mamadou Camara, who scored six minutes from the end, according to WestHamWorld.
In Mali’s midfield, Mamadou Sangare, the Brentford defensive midfielder, started alongside Amadou Haidara, according to FBref. Sangare plays in England and Sinayoko in France: the two players thus represent two European leagues within the same midfield and the same attack.
Thanks to this win, Mali move top of the group. Their campaign continues in Group K, where the Eagles are now in first place, according to WestHamWorld.
