Zan Vipotnik is the top scorer in the Championship and holds a superior conversion rate to Harry Kane this season.

Zan Vipotnik is the leading goalscorer in the Championship as Swansea City continue their league campaign. The Slovenia international has scored 19 goals in the second tier during the 2025-26 season, according to Opta statistics. Data indicates that Vipotnik is recording a shot conversion rate of 28 per cent, which is higher than the 22 per cent registered by Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane.

The 24-year-old forward joined Swansea from Bordeaux in 2024 and has become a central figure for the Welsh club. Per Sky Sports, Vipotnik averages a goal every 112 minutes in league football. This efficiency places him ahead of several prominent strikers across European divisions.

The striker recently signed a contract extension keeping him at the Liberty Stadium until June 2028.
