Harry Kane is on a journey to win his first-ever European Golden Boot following his outstanding performance in the Bundesliga.
The England striker has snatched an astonishing 17 goals in 11 league games for Bayern Munich this season.
The former Tottenham captain's incredible start has seen him break several records and has placed him in a strong position for Europe's goalscoring trophy.
His scoring streak has placed him ahead of Erling Haaland who secured the prize last season.
The Norwegian goal-machine scored an excellent 36 goals in his debut campaign for Manchester City which saw him break several records and helped his club to win Treble last season.
Harry Kane is also leading Kylian Mbappe this season, with the PSG frontman also smatching a stunning 13 goals in 11 matches.
However, despite Kane's remarkable scoring record, he's presently only third on the list with two relative surprise contenders leading the chart.
The European Golden Boot is then given at the end of every European season.
However, Futballnews will take a look at the surprise contenders for the 2023/2024 European Golden Boot.
Akor Adams (22 goals)
Club: Lillestrom & Montpellier
Akor Adams has experienced a good start to life at Montpellier following what was a massive step up from Norway's top-flight league.
The 23-year-old has already bagged seven goals in 11 matches this season, adding to his 15 goals scored in the Norway league with Lillestrom.
His goal tallies have earned him a spot in the race for the European Golden Boot.
His quality clearly does not match the likes of Harry Kane, Haaland, and Mbappe in front of goal but Adam is leading the list of the season.
Amahl Pellegrino (23 goals)
Club: Bodo/Glimt
Amahl Pellegrino is his team's top scorer with 23 this season.
Like other contenders on this chart who feature in the Eliteserien, they only have fewer games to boost their goal tally given their campaign ends on December 3.
Therefore, it is certain that others with more league games will surpass the Bodo/Glimt player.
Harry Kane (17 goals)
Club: Bayern Munich
League: Bundesliga (Germany)
The Arsenal academy product has been in crazy form, scoring an excellent 17 league goals in just 11 matches to make Bayern Munich stand out in all competitions.
His ability to score goals has never been in question. The rate at which he's putting the team away is remarkable in the German league.
He has surpassed last season's Bundesliga's top scorer, and before the International break, he had scored back-to-back hat tricks before bagging a brace during their last league game.
Kane has registered nine goals in his last four Bundesliga games and looks to be the favorite to earn this season's European Golden Boot, but there are two other players presently ahead of him on the list.
Serhou Guirassy (15 goals)
Club: Stuttgart
League: Bundesliga (Germany)
Serhou Guirassy is the striker who is giving Harry Kane a real reason to work hard for his big-money move to the Bundesliga.
The Stuttgart frontman is really flying high this season, having scored a tremendous 15 goals in just nine league matches.
Guirassy's season has arguably been better off Kane, with it taking him just 31 shots to reach his amazing goals so far.
Guirassy has already smashed the record for the fastest player to reach 15 goals in a Bundesliga season, a record that was crushed by Kane just a few weeks ago.
Kylian Mbappe (13 goals)
Club: Paris Saint-Germain
League: Ligue 1 (France)
The PSG star scored a hat-trick at the weekend against Reims, and despite being blasted for other areas of his match by his manager Luis Enrique, it is hard to condemn his quality when in front of the goal.
Mbappe has registered 13 goals in 11 Ligue 1 matches this season, which has seen the defending champion claim the top spot before the International break.
Erling Haaland (13 goals)
Club: Manchester City
League: Premier League (England)
The Norwegian goal-machine broke a lot of records in his debut Premier League campaign last season, which saw him bag his first European Golden Boot before his side completed an outstanding Treble.
He has already netted 13 goals in 12 Premier League games already this season, and he doesn't look like he's slowing down this time around.
Andrej Ilic (21 goals)
Club: RFS & Valerenga
League: Virsliga (Latvia) & Eliteserien (Norway)
The 23-year-old has scored 14 goals in 25 league matches for RFS but managed to carry over his good form in front of goal, scoring another seven in 11 games in Norway.
Lautaro Martinez (12 goals)
Club: Inter Milan
League: Serie A (Italy)
The World Cup winner is currently enjoying life in Serie A this season and has scored 12 goals in as many games for the Italian giants, making him a true contender for the European Golden Boot crown should he proceed with his superb domestic record in front of goal.
Martinez's goals have assisted Inter Milan in securing the top position in Serie A after 12 matches, with Simone Inzaghi's team only beaten once this season so far.
Faris Moumbagna (15 goals)
Club: Bodo/Glimt
League: Eliteserien (Norway)
The Cameroonian International striker has registered 15 goals in 26 matches this season but there are only a few more games to be played for the 23-year-old to add more goals to his tally given that their league season ends on December 3.
Solvi Vatnhamar (21 goals)
Club: Vikingur Gota
League: Faroe Islands Premier League (Faroe Islands)
Solvi Vatnhamar isn't fatal in front of the goal, the Faroe Islands international has finished as the top goal scorer in the Faroe Islands Premier League for the recent two seasons, with this campaign's record of 21 goals earning him a place in the top 10.
The 2022-23 season where Vatnhamar scored 21 goals for Vikingur has now ended, therefore, it is safe to say that we shouldn't expect the 37-year-old to remain on the list given he can't extend his tally.
The England striker has snatched an astonishing 17 goals in 11 league games for Bayern Munich this season.
The former Tottenham captain's incredible start has seen him break several records and has placed him in a strong position for Europe's goalscoring trophy.
