ALFA TAKES FLIGHT

ALFA TAKES FLIGHT There are only three players born in 2006 or later across Europe's top five leagues who have scored at least eight goals in all competitions in the 2026/27 season: Alphadjo Cisse (8 goals) , Barcelona's Lamine Yamal (13 goals) and Paris Brunner (8 goals). Opta shared this statistic following AC Milan's 2-1 win over Genoa, in which Cisse scored his fifth Serie A goal and eighth goal of the season in all competitions . Having played around 411 minutes in Serie A (and with five goals in that competition alone, eight in all competitions), he is averaging approximately one goal every 82 minutes , placing him among Europe's most prolific young goalscorers. World Cup winner Lamine Yamal, meanwhile, has played 1,355 minutes across La Liga (995 minutes) and the Champions League (360 minutes), averaging roughly one goal every 95-100 minutes for his club. Paris Brunner, a German forward born in 2006 who started his career at Borussia Dortmund and who now plays for Monaco in Ligue 1, has played approximately 563 minutes across the French top flight and the Europa Conference League, averaging around one goal every 70-80 minutes. What really makes Alfa Cisse stand out, though, is his remarkable rise to the top . Last season, Lamine Yamal was already an established star and went on to win the World Cup with his national team. Paris Brunner was already gaining experience in Ligue 1, having made seven appearances for Monaco. Cisse, now performing at a similar level, was playing for Catanzaro in Serie B just a year ago before an injury brought his season to an end in February. His new campaign with the Rossoneri began with Rúben Amorim's "I love Cisse" declaration and the string of goals that then followed. And there is still plenty of room for further improvement and development. Match kits, clothing, accessories, gift ideas and much more: visit the AC Milan online Store !
