The domestic season draws to a close across the majority of big leagues in Europe this weekend and we have picked out five goalscorers worth following.

Manchester City will be looking to complete the second part of the treble when they take on arch rivals Manchester United in Saturday's FA Cup final and the likes of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are sure to catch the eye in the goalscorers market.

However, one man that could offer more value in that department is Ilkay Gundogan, who has grabbed braces against Everton and Leeds over the last month, taking his tally for the season to nine.

With his contract due to expire this summer, this could be one of Gundogan's last appearances in a City shirt and it would be no surprise to see him mark the occasion with a cup final goal.

Celtic will also be aiming to complete a treble when they face Inverness in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday and they boast a striker in form in Oh Hyeon-gyu.

The South Korean appears to have now found his feet after arriving from Suwon Samsung Bluewings in January, netting three goals across his last two appearances, including a brace against Aberdeen last weekend.

However, that may not be enough to see Oh start Saturday's final at Hampden, with Kyogo Furuhashi likely to be preferred to lead the line, but it would be no surprise to see the 22-year-old come off the bench to score the final goal of the contest.

It has been a season to remember for RC Lens, who are guaranteed to finish second in Ligue 1 regardless of their result on the final day away to relegation-threatened Auxerre.

The goals of Lois Openda have been key to that success, with his strike in last weekend's victory over Ajaccio taking his tally for the season in the French top flight to 20.

Only three players have scored more Ligue 1 goals than the Belgium international this season and he can cap a memorable campaign with another goal this weekend.

Boulaye Dia has hit a rich vein of form, having scored eight goals in his last 11 appearances

Boulaye Dia has enjoyed a successful loan spell with Salernitana this season, scoring 16 goals that have contributed to the Campania-based club comfortably surviving in Serie A.

Eight of those goals have come across his last 11 appearances, including a recent hat-trick in a 3-3 draw with Fiorentina.

Salernitana will be facing an already-relegated Cremonese side on the final day that hold the joint-worst defensive record in Serie A. 

Dia will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing that defence.

Victor Osimhen has arguably been the main contributor to Napoli's title success in Serie A this season, with the Nigerian's brace in last weekend's draw with Bologna meaning he has scored a league-high 25 goals.

The Capocannoniere — the award handed to the top scorer in Serie A each season — appears to be sewn up and Osimhen will expect to add to his tally when Napoli host bottom-of-the-table Sampdoria on the final day.

Osimhen has opened the scoring for Napoli 10 times in Serie A this season and it would be no surprise to see him pop up with the first goal once again on Sunday.
