The 2024-25 Bundesliga season is heating up with an exciting race for the Torjägerkanone, the prestigious award for the league’s top goal scorer.
Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Muller have won this prize a total of seven times. Since Lewandowski’s departure, Niclas Fullkurg and Christopher Nkunku scored 16 goals each to share the trophy in the 2022-23 season. Last season, Harry Kane scored an incredible 36 goals – a tally second to only Muller – to win the race and become top scorer.
This season, others could lead the charge as well. Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, whose creative playmaking and lethal finishing have made him a standout performer, is turning heads as he pushes Leverkusen toward success.
