1Harry Kane | Bayern Munich | 21 goals

Harry Kane may not have been at his peak during the European Championship, but he still managed to finish as a joint-top scorer. Now back to full fitness, the Bayern Munich striker is the clear frontrunner to claim the Bundesliga’s top scorer title once again, just as he did last season.

Kane netted a hat-trick in Bayern’s 6-1 demolition of Holstein Kiel in gameweek three and followed that up with another goal in a 5-0 rout over Werder Bremen. As long as he remains injury-free, the race for the prize is his to lose.

Known for his pace and straightforward play, the 25-year-old is versatile, able to slot in anywhere along the front three but frequently finds himself thriving in the half-spaces to get goals and assists.

8Jamal Musiala | Bayern Munich | 10 goals

Jamal Musiala has firmly established himself as a standout talent within Bayern’s ranks and will aim to continue delivering crucial goals for the team throughout the 2024-25 campaign.

9Benjamin Sesko | RB Leipzig | 10 goals

Blistering speed to exploit space, dominance in the air, and a clinical finishing touch – it’s no exaggeration to say that Benjamin Sesko is among the most sought-after talents in European football. Standing tall at 6ft 5in, he commands attention in the attacking third, combining imposing physicality with exceptional athleticism.

10Florian Wirtz | Bayer Leverkusen | 9 goals

Florian Wirtz is navigating against the grain as a central playmaker stationed just behind the striker. Few can rival the 21-year-old’s ability to maneuver through congested areas with such poise. Unlike his predecessors, who often drifted away from the space between the lines to dictate play, Wirtz thrives precisely in that zone. From there, he orchestrates the tempo of the game, even with limited time on the ball.

What sets Wirtz apart is his knack for breaking through opposition presses, enabling him to deliver incisive passes into the most dangerous areas with remarkable consistency. He often releases a teammate into space with precision, whether it’s a pinpoint through-ball slicing through the defense or a well-timed cutback near the penalty area. His link-up play, ability to beat a man and eye for a pass and goal mean the Pulheim native is a huge attacking weapon regardless of where he plays.

11Alexis Claude-Maurice | FC Augsburg | 9 goals

Last season, Claude-Maurice made 18 appearances for Nice in Ligue 1, yet the French midfielder managed just 495 minutes on the pitch for the club. However, his fortunes have taken a positive turn at Augsburg, where he has consistently contributed with crucial goals.
