The battle for who takes the Kicker Torjägerkanone home looks lively even after just 12 matchdays. Last season's topscorers Niclas Fulkrug and Christopher Nkunku scored 16 goals each. We are not even half way through the season but this season's leading goalscorer have exceeded it and the Robert Lewandoski's 41 record goals scored by a single player in a single league season is the target for strikers in the Bundesliga
The topscorers trophy is between two players at the moment. Harry Kane after hat-trick of hat-tricks already have scored 18 goals for Bayern München and Serhou Guirassy of Stuttgart who was benched in his team's recent fixture against Frankfurt also has 15 goals now. These two players are ready to battle it out for the ultimate reward at the moment. Harry Kane's effort has his team on the second position. Stuttgart also sit on the third spot on the league standings.
Loïs Openda of Leipzig and Jonas Wind of Wolfsburg are also pulling their weight very well as they both are joint third with 9 goals each. They do not want to be left out. Leipzig and Wolfsburg at the moment are 5th and 8th respectively on the league table. Next to them is Leroy Sané who is just a goal behind them and is the other Bayern München player who is in fine form.
Four players in the Bundesliga have 7 goals each. The league leaders Bayer Leverkusen have two of their players with 7 goals; Alejandro Grimaldo and Victor Boniface. The other two players are Ermedin Demirovic of Augsburg who are tenth on the league and Stuttgart's Deniz Undav. Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush who has 6 goals round up the top ten of Bundesliga topscorers competing for the Torjägerkanone at the moment.
Harry Kane and Serhou Guirassy are the ones closer to equal Lewandoski's 41 goals in a season and possibly smashing it away in the next match weeks but the rest of the attackers are playing catch up to help their respective finish in a good position and see what happens. Who wins the ultimate?
