Continental tournaments are underway, with players reaching a peak fitness level more than ever, translating to the pitch. With players from all over Europe's top five leagues now hitting their stride, let’s look at the most in-form players across September.

The United States international has been off to a perfect start for both club and country this season. The U.S. captain scored in a 1-1 draw vs New Zealand during the early September international break, which has since carried over into his form for AC Milan. Pulisic has been one of the best players this season in Serie A, the top division in Italy, having scored three goals, placing him in the top five in the goal standings. The American also notched up two assists to start his Serie A campaign. Even though the season is still young, Pulisic is already making his case for Serie A player of the season, having already made team of the week in the league twice.

Harry Kane has consistently been a top striker in the world for nearly a decade now, and so far this season, the England captain is not looking to slow down. In his opening UEFA Champions League match, Kane scored four goals in a 9-2 win over Croatian League side Dinamo Zagreb, setting his personal best in a single continental tournament match. Kane also has five goals and four assists in four Bundesliga appearances. Kane looks to be playing with a chip on his shoulder. He still looks to capture his first professional trophy, having gone trophyless during his time with Tottenham and one season with Bayern.

The current favorite to win this year's Ballon d’Or is off to a fantastic start to this season, already making an early claim for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, having scored three goals in seven appearances in La Liga this season. Junior has also provided three assists while playing up front for a strong Real Madrid side. Vinicius Junior has been one of the best players in the world and has been since his breakthrough 2021-2022 season, where he won his first of two UEFA Champions League trophies. Now, playing up front with stars Kylian Mbappé and Rodrigo, the forward can potentially find more opportunities to score goals and reach new heights this season.
