Brazilian striker Igor Thiago continues to enjoy a sensational season in the Premier League. On Wednesday (07), the Brentford forward scored two more goals, reaching a historic milestone and reinforcing his status as one of the league’s standout performers.
With the brace, Igor Thiago became the Brazilian with the most goals scored in a single Premier League season, surpassing all previous records.
Igor Thiago Is Second Top Scorer in the Premier League
After 21 matches in the current 2025/26 Premier League season, the 24-year-old striker has already scored 16 goals. He now sits as the second-highest scorer in the league, behind only Erling Haaland of Manchester City.

Brazilian Striker Surpasses Big Names in England
Igor Thiago’s tally has seen him move past several notable Brazilian attackers who have played in the Premier League in recent years, including Matheus Cunha, during his spell at Wolverhampton, and Gabriel Martinelli, currently at Arsenal.
With 17 rounds still remaining in the league season, the Brentford striker has a strong chance to extend his lead even further and set a record that could stand for years.
Who Is Igor Thiago?
A product of Cruzeiro’s youth academy, Igor Thiago is rapidly turning potential into elite-level output. His performances have already sparked discussions about a possible call-up to the Brazilian national team.
Before joining Brentford, the striker impressed during spells at Ludogorets in Bulgaria and Club Brugge in Belgium. However, excelling in the Premier League widely considered the most demanding league in the world could be the decisive factor in opening the doors to the Seleção.
Eyes on Brazil’s Next Squad Announcement
Now, attention turns to Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is expected to announce his next squad ahead of matches against Croatia and France in March. If Igor Thiago maintains his current form, a national team debut appears increasingly realistic.
