One name is making waves in the Bundesliga this season: Yan Diomande. At just 19 years old, the youngster has already recorded 18 goal contributions in the current 2025/26 campaign.
Since assists began being recorded in detail in the 1988/89 season, there have repeatedly been exceptional talents who dominated the league before their 20th birthday and racked up goal contributions.
As reported by 'kicker', Diomande has now joined that group, which also includes players such as Erling Haaland, Florian Wirtz, and Jamal Musiala. By the end of the season, he could even challenge for the top spot.
10th place: Said El Mala (2025/26): 15 goal contributions (11 goals, 4 assists).
9th place: Erling Haaland (2019/20): 16 goal contributions (13 goals, 3 assists) - he only joined Dortmund in January 2020.
8th place: Jamal Musiala (2022/23): 18 goal contributions (10 goals, 8 assists) up to his 20th birthday in February 2023. By the end of the season: 25 goal contributions (12/13).
8th place: Florian Wirtz (2021/22): 18 goal contributions (7 goals, 11 assists).
8th place: Ousmane Dembelé (2016/17): 18 goal contributions (6 goals, 12 assists) up to his 20th birthday in May 2017. By the end of the season: 19 goal contributions (6/13).
8th place: Yan Diomande (2025/26): 18 goal contributions (11 goals, 7 assists).
3rd place: Kai Havertz (2018/19): 21 goal contributions (17 goals, 4 assists).
3rd place: Mario Götze (2010/11): 21 goal contributions (6 goals, 15 assists).
1st place: Jadon Sancho (2018/19): 30 goal contributions (12 goals, 18 assists).
1st place: Jadon Sancho (2019/20): 30 goal contributions (14 goals, 16 assists) up to his 20th birthday in March 2020. By the end of the season: 34 goal contributions (17/17).
But it’s not only Diomande who could still climb the list - El Mala could as well. The Cologne player currently stands at 15 goal contributions and could move past Haaland with just one more.
