8) Moussa Diaby (13 goals)

Moussa has scored 13 goals in 32 games in the Bundesliga. He managed double figures against VFB Stuttgart on Matchday 22 itself. Moreover the youngster scored a crucial goal which ensured Leverkusen to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

7) Serge Gnabry (14 goals)

It is not surprising to see the name of a Bayern Munich player on the topscorers list. Gnabry has made a reputable name with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and Champions League as well.

The Nigerian striker was one of the most exciting talents during the 2014/15 season. He won the FIFA U-17 World Cup with Nigeria in 2013. Taiwo had signed for Klopp's Liverpool at the age of 18. Unfortunately he did not make a single team appearance mainly because of work permit. Taiwo then made his way to Bundesliga 2 where he struggled and scored only 1 goal in 12 matches for Frankfurt. Taiwo was forced to then play for third division Mouscron until 2021 when he signed for Union Berlin.

Awoniyi has been crucial for Union Berlin this season. He scored 15 goals in 31 games. Taiwo scored his 14th and 15th goal which ensured a UEFA Europa League spot for Berlin.
