Who will ultimately take home the ‘Torjägerkanone’ this year?
One of the top leagues in Europe, the Bundesliga has produced a decent number of prolific goal-scorers. With their incredible goal-scoring ability, players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Robert Lewandowski, and Erling Haaland, to name a few, have revolutionized the league in the past few years.
After the aforementioned Haaland and Lewandowski moved on, it will be intriguing to see who wins the Bundesliga golden boot this season. Niclas Fullkrug, who assisted Werder Bremen in gaining promotion to the top division, is on fire so far this season, and Christopher Nkunku, the MVP of the 2021–22 season for RB Leipzig, is also among the top goal scorers.
