Bundesliga top scorers 2023-24: Harry Kane, Serhou Guirassy & players with the most goals in Germany this season

Football Lovers brings you this season’s leading marksmen in the Bundesliga – who will come out on top?

The 2023-24 Bundesliga season is in full swing, and the race to be the Kicker-Torjagerkanone is already underway. Last year, the German top-flight’s top marksman trophy was shared by both Niclas Fullkrug and Christopher Nkunku, who scored 16 goals each for Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig, respectively.

With Fullkrug battling out with Sebastien Haller for regular minutes after a summer move to Borussia Dortmund and Nkunku leaving for Chelsea, the battle to be atop of the goalscoring charts at season’s end could be wide open this year.

England striker Harry Kane may be a favourite after a summer transfer to Bayern Munich, but notoriously Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy is already the man to beat when it comes to the Bundesliga top scorer. In any case, there are sure to be plenty of goals throughout the season, which will likely produce a long list of contenders to lead the league in goals.

1Harry Kane | Bayern Munich | 18 goals

The England captain has made a sensational start to life in Germany and is already racking up records, goals and assists. The three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner will certainly have his sights set on the prestigious Kicker-Torjagerkanone title.

2Serhou Guirassy | Stuttgart | 16 goals

A relatively unknown quantity, Serhou Guirassy signed for Stuttgart this summer after impressing on loan from Rennes last season. The 27-year-old Guinea international averaged a goal every other game in the German top flight last term but has taken his attacking potency to another level and is scoring goals for fun at the minute as surprise package Stuttgart continue to punch well above their weight this season.

3Lois Openda | RB Leipzig | 10 goals

Brought in as the replacement for last season’s Bundesliga top-scorer Christopher Nkunku at RB Leipzig, Lois Openda was almost unstoppable for Lens in Ligue 1 last season, scoring 21 goals, and was linked with bigger clubs than Leipzig, who spent a club record amount to beat the competition.

Nevertheless, the Belgium international has picked up where he left off last season and is emerging as one of the primary goal-getter at Leipzig.

4Jonas Wind | Wolfsburg | 9 goals

Jonas Wind only scored six Bundesliga goals for Wolfsburg last term, but he’s already surpassed that tally this season. The 24-year-old Dane kicked off the 2023-24 campaign in some style by notching successive braces against Heidemheim and Koln and has continued banging in the goals ever since.

5Leroy Sane | Bayern Munich | 8 goals

Leroy Sané has been one of Bayern Munich’s most consistent performers so far this season and looks like a completely revitalized player after an inconsistent campaign last time out. The electric winger has been absolutely on fire in terms of goals and assists and appears to be back to his best, striking up a deadly partnership with star summer signing Harry Kane on the pitch.

6Victor Boniface | Bayer Leverkusen | 8 goals

Victor Boniface has made a blistering start to his Bayer Leverkusen career since arriving from Belgian side Union SG in the last summer transfer window. The Nigerian attacking powerhouse is making Bundesliga look easy, and has impressed with his pace, physicality, and goal-scoring ability, notably scoring after a remarkable solo run and delicate chip during Bayer Leverkusen’s over Darmstadt in early September.

7Alex Grimaldo | Bayer Leverkusen | 7 goals

Not only has set-piece specialist Alex Grimaldo played a crucial role to Leverkusen’s success this season in a creative sense, but he has also taken his output to a whole new level under Xabi Alonso’s tutelage, and is regularly amongst the goals these days.

8Maximilian Beier | Hoffenheim | 6 goals

At just 20 years of age, in-form Hoffenheim striker Maximilian Beier has shown great potential as a clinical marksman this season. With the German national team crying out for an out-and-out striker for some time, his name has cropped up in German footballing circles, with many pundits urging newly-appointed Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann to bring Beier into the fold.

9Omar Marmoush | Eintracht Frankfurt | 6 goals

Eintracht Frankfurt signed Egyptian international Omar Marmoush on a free transfer from Wolfsburg. He got off to a slow start with Frankfurt but has produced some admirable performances, and a desire to bomb forward. He has already surpassed his previous career-high and has him leading the way for Frankfurt following the departure of Randal Kolo Muani.

10Eren Dinkci | Heidenheim | 5 goals

Forward Eren Dinkci joined Heidenheim on loan from relegated Werder Bremen over the summer, and has been in inspiring form up top, banging in crucial goals in the newcomers survival bid this season.
