Harry Kane (England) - 3 goals
Since joining Bayern Munich last summer, Harry Kane is still looking for his first major trophy. After scoring 36 goals as the Bundesliga's top scorer in Germany, the Englishman will be considered a big favourite with a talent-packed Three Lions squad. He scored in England's draw against Denmark, before heading the Three Lions into the lead against Slovakia in extra-time. Kane then scored his third goal against the Netherlands in the semi-final, with a crucial penalty to draw England level.
Dani Olmo (Spain) - 3 goals
He didn't begin Euro 2024 as part of coach Luis De La Fuente's plans, but has forced his way into the side with some key goals for La Roja. He's scored three times in five games to put his shoe in for the race for top-scorer. The latest was Spain's second goal against France in the semi-final - a superb finish after some brilliant movement in the build up.
Cody Gakpo (Netherlands) - 3 goals
The Liverpool forward netted in the 2-1 win over Poland in the Oranje's opening game, before adding to his tally in the 2-3 loss to Austria in the group stage. Gakpo then scored and assisted for Netherlands against Romania in the round of 16 and helped the team book a quarter-final berth. He almost thought he scored against Turkey in the quarter-final, but it would go down as an own goal.
Georges Mikautadze (Georgia) - 3 goals
Georges Mikautadze has ostensibly been a one-man fighting machine for his club Metz in the last season, but his Euro 2024 campaign saw his talent exposed on the world stage for the first time. With three goals for a spirited first-ever campaign for Georgia, Mikuatadze has done enough to earn a shared top-scorer status.
Jamal Musiala - 3 goals
In a tournament which has seen a lot of goals spread out and the main contenders for the Golden Boot seemingly draw blanks in the first round of games, Bayern Munich and Germany man Jamal Musiala led the top scorer rankings early on with two goals. With the confidence of a well-performing Germany side and his attacking role in midfield - he continued with another goal to finish in the six top scorer spots.
