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

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 Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy is expected to run him close for the accolade.

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.

Worry not! GOAL brings you a fully updated rundown of the leading scorers in the Bundesliga across the 2023-24 season.

  • HARRY KANE FC BAYERN BOCHUMGetty Images

    1Harry Kane | Bayern Munich | 36 goals

    2Serhou Guirassy | Stuttgart | 26 goals

    A relatively unknown quantity, Serhou Guirassy signed for Stuttgart after impressing on loan from Rennes. 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.

  • LOIS OPENDA RB LEIPZIG RB Leipzig

    3Lois Openda | RB Leipzig | 24 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-getters at Leipzig.

  • 4Deniz Undav | Stuttgart | 18 goals

    Deniz Undav, who joined Stuttgart on a season-long loan deal last summer, endured a slightly underwhelming campaign at the Amex last season as he produced only eight goals in 30 games across all competitions. However, he's making quite a name for himself in the Bundesliga and looks set to surpass his goal output from last season.

  • Maximilian Beier Hoffenheim 02092023Getty

    5Maximilian Beier | Hoffenheim | 16 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.

  • 6Ermedin Demirovic | Augsburg | 15 goals

    Augsburg captain Ermedin Demirovic has continued to put in stellar performances for his side. The Bosnian international contributed eight goals and six assists in 30 Bundesliga games last season.

    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.

  • Donyell Malen Borussia DortmundGetty Images

    9Donyell Malen | Borussia Dortmund | 13 goals

    Ahead of the new year, all the signs pointed towards a Donyell Malen midseason exit after a poor first half of the season at Dortmund amidst strong outside interest. However, Malen has once again come to life in front of goal to play an important role for his side in the second part of the campaign.

  • 10 Marvin Ducksch | Werder Bremen | 12 goals

    Marvin Ducksch is more of a second striker than a true centre-forward but is another player underappreciated yet devilishly brilliant chance-taker and maker. The Germany international is also known for his dead-ball prowess, which is a real asset for Werder Bremen.

  • Niclas Füllkrug Dortmund 13012024Getty

    11Niclas Füllkrug | Borussia Dortmund | 12 goals

    Niclas Fullkrug has continued to surpass expectations since arriving at Borussia Dortmund last summer. An old-school centre-forward, the German international has enjoyed a rich seam of goalscoring form this season, while his ability to lead the line and batter opposing defenders into a dazed state meant he has established himself as a first-choice striker for Eden Terzic's side.

  • Andrej Kramaric HoffenheimGetty

    12Andrej Kramaric | Hoffenheim | 12 goals

    With over 100 Bundesliga goals and 50 assists for Hoffenheim, Andrej Kramarić is not only Die Kraichgauer's record goal-scorer, but a true legend after playing a major role in keeping them in Germany's top flight last time out, notching seven goals in 10 appearances towards the back-half of last season. He has carried over that form into the new season, with Hoffenheim also flying high in the top half of the Bundesliga table.

    14Omar Marmoush | Eintracht Frankfurt | 12 goals

    Eintracht Frankfurt signed Egyptian international Omar Marmoush on a free transfer from Wolfsburg.

  • Florian Wirtz Bayer Leverkusen 2023-24Getty Images

    15Florian Wirtz | Bayer Leverkusen | 11 goals

    Florian Wirtz completely transformed himself into an attacking asset since the arrival of Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen. The German midfielder was an integral force behind Neverkusen's Bundesliga winning campaign as he reached double digits in terms of goal scored for the first time in his career.

    Wirtz's iconic hattrick in Bayer Leverkusen's title-winning game against Werder Bremen will always remain in the hearts of the fans.

    The Bayern prodigy rose to fame with the German heavyweights and at a young age became the orchestrator behind his side's success domestically and in Europe.
