Galatasaray forward Mbaye Diagne pulled level with Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang om 31 goals across all competitions this season.

The Senegal international found the back of the net in a 3-1 Turkish Cup final win over Akhisar Belediyespor on Wednesday evening.

Diange now sits level with Aubameyang, who finished the season as the joint top-scorer in the English Premier League, in second place on the charts for the top-scoring African player in Europe.

Sitting above the duo is Tanzania captain Mbwana Samatta who has scored 32 goals across all competitions for Belgium club KRC Genk.

The trio have all been linked with big money moves in the off-season, with Aubameyang having attracted reported interest from Real Madrid.
