Gabigol rises in Santos’ top scorers this century, see more | OneFootball

A little over a month after his return to Santos, Gabigol has reached a very important milestone at the alvinegro club. With the two goals scored against Velo Clube, the striker became the fourth highest scorer for Peixe in the 21st century, with 88 goals. 

Gabigol surpassed Kléber Pereira, who scored 86 times wearing the Santos jersey. The top three positions are held by Neymar (149 goals), Robinho (111 goals), and Ricardo Oliveira (92 goals).  

In other words, Gabigol has a great chance of entering the top 3 as early as 2026, needing to score just four more goals to equal Ricardo Oliveira.
