Serhou Guirassy
Club: VfB Stuttgart
Position: Striker
Goals: 25
Appearances: 25

Guirassy was on a league-leading 14 goals after only seven games, smashing Lewandowski's previous best of 11 at that juncture. He hit five multiples in that time, including two hat-tricks, before missing a couple of games through injury. The Stuttgart No.9 is currently seven behind Kane, having played several games fewer due to those injuries and Africa Cup of Nations duty. But he's netted nine times since returning to club action in February, including a brace in 3-2 victory over Wolfsburg on Matchday 24 which started off a scoring run of five straight games.

Loïs Openda
Club: RB Leipzig
Position: Striker
Goals: 24
Appearances: 31

Openda had big shoes to fill at Leipzig following Nkunku's move to Chelsea during the summer transfer window, but he's made it look easy. The Belgium international has gone from strength to strength since scoring on his Bundesliga debut, with back-to-back braces on Matchdays 8 and 9 contributing to an impressive return of 13 goals after 19 games - only one Leipzig player has previously scored more at the same juncture in a season (Timo Werner, 2019/20). He's continued his impressive form in 2024 with a run of 13 goals in 15 games - including braces in victories against Cologne and Freiburg.
