With the race to be one of the Bundesliga's highest scorers for the 23-24 season picking up pace, Stuttgart's Deniz Undav and Augsburg's Ermedin Demirović have been gaining ground on the players at the top.

Which Players Are Currently Leading The League In Scoring?

Harry Kane

Joining Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 for a Bundesliga record-breaking fee of €100 million, Harry Kane had big expectations to live up to.

Currently leading the Bundesliga in scoring with 24 goals this season, Harry Kane has adapted wonderfully to Germany and has his sights on breaking Robert Lewandowski's record 41 goals in a single campaign.

With Serhou Guirassy having been on international duty with Guinea during January, Harry Kane has been able to add three more goals to his tally during this period to widen the margin.

Joining Harry Kane in being one of the top two scorers this Bundesliga campaign, Serhou Guirassy has scored an incredible seventeen goals this season.

Having one of the best scoring streaks, Guirassy accrued fourteen goals in eight games this campaign to break Robert Lewandowski's record.

Despite this, injuries and his involvement in the African Cup of Nations have meant he has struggled to find a consistent streak of game time. Therefore, his numbers have tailed off since matchday eight.

Loïs Openda

Scoring thirteen goals already this season, Belgium's Loïs Openda is on track to break Thorgan Hazard's record tally of fourty-three goals for a Belgian in the Bundesliga granted he stays with RB Leipzig.

Not only providing goals, Openda has also provided four assists for RB Leipzig.

Which Strikers Are Challenging These Top Scorers?

Deniz Undav

Arriving at VfB Stuttgart on loan from Brighton in the summer transfer window, Deniz Undav has been a part of one of the deadliest striking partnerships alongside his teammate Serhou Guirassy.

Scoring thirteen goals this season (including four in his last two outings), Undav has hit form at just the right moment during VfB Stuttgart's hunt for a UEFA Champions League spot.

With a reported buy option of €18 million, VfB Stuttgart may still choose to purchase him on a permanent basis should Serhou Guirassy leave the club.

Ermedin Demirović

With eleven goals so far this campaign, Ermedin Demirović has been a revelation for Augsburg.

With only two more goals needed, Demirović looks likely to break the record for the most goals (thirteen) in a single campaign for the club (a record currently held by Florian Niederlechner and Michael Gregoritsch).

With the Bosnian international participating in the Euro 2024 play-offs in March, he has a chance to send his country to their first ever European Championships.
