East Bengal’s attacking prowess played a crucial role in their title-winning run, with the team scoring goals consistently throughout the campaign.
In this article, we take a look at the Top 5 Indian goalscorers from the ISL 2025-26 season.
Noufal PN – Mumbai City FC
For Mumbai City FC, Noufal PN was one of their standout performers this season as he bagged three crucial goals for them. Against Mohun Bagan SG, his solitary strike sealed the game for The Islanders, which highlighted his arrival.
The winger’s pace, direct attacking and confidence in big matches make him a serious threat against opposition. His capability of making those third-man channel runs behind the two centre-backs, or the ability of clinical finishing, made him special.
For his performance this season, he was also called by Khalid Jamil for the Unity Cup 2026 tournament and made his debut against Jamaica. The youngster has impressed throughout the season.
Lallianzuala Chhangte – Mumbai City FC
Lallianzuala Chhangte is one of the proven forwards in ISL history. With his consistent performances over the past few seasons, he has established himself as a key attacking force.
Chhangte also thrived under Petr Kratky, playing an exciting brand of football for Mumbai City FC. Alongside his wing partner Noufal, he continued to make his mark, contributing four goals during the ISL 2025-26 campaign.
His direct style of play allows Mumbai City FC to transition quickly from defence to attack, while his composure in front of goal adds a reliable edge in the final third.
A natural winger, Chhangte possesses the ability to stretch defences with intelligent runs, take on defenders in one on one situations, and create danger with his blistering pace. Combined with his sharp decision-making, these qualities set him apart as one of the league’s most effective attacking players.
Ryan Williams – Bengaluru FC
Bengaluru FC in the ISL are one of the pivotal sides with a grand respect for their sheer mentality. And for the Blues, the new Indian forward Ryan Williams also finds himself on the list with four goals.
Ryan Williams’s pace, acceleration, decision making, control and ability to read the game and also stretch the opponents’ defence to get the vacant place for his own team makes him an ideal forward who can disrupt the opposition’s defence.
Suhair VP – Odisha FC
Suhair VP has been a ray of hope for Odisha FC during a difficult ISL 2025-26 campaign. The forward stepped up when his team needed him most, scoring four goals and emerging as one of their standout performers.
His contributions have also placed him among the top five Indian goalscorers in the league this season.
