8) Moussa Diaby (13 goals)

The youngster moved from Paris Saint Germain to Bayer Leverkusen in 2019.

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. Previously , both Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion had rejected him. They deemed him as a failure but Gnabry had other plans.

Ever since joining the German League ,Serge has 67 goals and 38 assists in 171 games. Serge has scored double figures for Bayern Munich in every season since joining. Gnabry broke his previous record of 13 goals. The German winger scored 14 goals this season in 34 games. He scored a vital goal against Borussia Dortmund which ensured the title for The Bavarians.

6) Taiwo Awoniyi (15 goals)

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.

Haaland scored 27 goals in 28 Bundesliga games last season. Erling managed to score 22 goals in 24 matches. He has played in limited games because of an injury which ruled him out. As of now Manchester City have completed the signing of the youngster from Borussia Dortmund. The Cityzens just paid £51 million for Haaland which is quite a bargain.

2) Patrik Schick (24 goals)

Schick first made a revelation in the Euro 2020. He was top scorer alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. The Czech international managed to score 5 goals in 5 games for his side. Patrik has played in Serie A as well, scoring just 16 goals in 78 games. However he has put up impressive numbers in the Bundesliga.

He has a reputable name and is alongside other legendary strikers such as Ibrahimovic, Suarez , Benzema etc. The FIFA Best Men's Player scored a staggering 18 away goals for Bayern Munich. Lewa has managed to score 35 goals in 34 games for Bayern Munich this season.
