23-year-old Dutch striker Fenna Kalma of Twente Enschede is set to be the unlikely winner of the title of the leading female goalscorer in the calendar year after ending 2022 with 45 goals in all competitions. This year, only the men’s Golden Boot winner at the FIFA World Cup, Kylian Mbappé has currently scored more goals than her.
With most of Europe’s top women’s leagues closed down until the New Year, Kalma is set to succeed the then Barcelona and Spain striker, Jenni Hermoso, who scored 51 goals in all competitions in 2021. Kalma is six goals clear of Belgian striker Tessa Wullaert and seven ahead of Chelsea and Australia forward, Sam Kerr who has scored 38 goals in all competitions.
