Serie A 2022-23 Topscorers
1 Marko Arnautovic (Bologna – 6 goals): In terms of goals scored, Marko Arnautovic’s return to Europe has been successful. He increased the ante this season after making 33 appearances and scored 14 league goals the previous year.
2 Beto (Udinese – 5 goals): For Udinese, Beto is in scorching form. With 5 goals, the 24-year-old is currently tied for second place in Serie A and is still the star for Udinese.
3 Ciro Immobile (Lazio – 5 goals): With 15+ goals in each of the last six seasons and the European Golden Boot in 2019–20, Ciro Immobile has distinguished himself as one of Europe’s reliable goal threats. With 5 goals, he now holds the second-highest-scoring
position in the league.
4 Kvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli – 5 goals): Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has completely dominated Serie A. The 21-year-old is playing in his first season in one of the top five European leagues and is amazing, having already scored five league goals. His thrilling playing style has given him the moniker “Georgian Messi” and “Kvaradona.”
5 Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus – 5 goals): Dusan Vlahovic joined Juventus from Fiorentina, where he had two seasons with 15+ goals, and scored 7 goals in the previous year. He is poised to establish himself as the talisman for a Juventus team that has had a lackluster start to the season this year.
6 Paulo Dybala (AS Roma – 4 goals): When Paulo Dybala transferred from Juventus to AS Roma, he was greeted as a hero. Dybala, one of Roma’s most significant recent signings, has changed the game.
7 Olivier Giroud (AC Milan – 4 goals): With 11 goals last season, including some amazing match-winning goals, Olivier Giroud was one of Milan’s key contributors, and he is continuing to improve with age like a fine wine.
8 Teun Koopmeiners (Atalanta – 4 goals): Teun Koopmeiners, who is in his second season at Atalanta, has already matched his goal total from the previous one in just eight games and appears destined to play a significant role in their season.
9 Rafael Leao (AC Milan – 4 goals): One of the most intriguing young players in the world is Rafael Leao. The 23-year-old is one of AC Milan’s key offensive players and keeps Serie A on fire.

12 Arkadiusz Milik (Juventus – 3 goals): The transition back to Serie A for Arkadiusz Milik has gone smoothly so far. Before joining Marseille for the 2020–21 season, the former Napoli player had a successful run in the league. The Polish international’s injuries have been a minor issue, but he is off to a strong start at Juventus.
13 Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio – 3 goals): Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, a Serbian international, is growing in stature as a versatile midfield difference maker. He appears to be in great shape and will play a key role for Serbia at the 2018 World Cup.
14 M’Bala Nzola (Spezia – 3 goals): M’Bala Nzola slowed down a bit last season, scoring just 2 goals after scoring 11 goals for Spezia in his debut Serie A season. He has already surpassed his season’s total.
15 Ante Rebic (AC Milan – 3 goals): Ante Rebic, a Croatian international who has been instrumental in Milan’s recent success, battled with injuries last season and missed out on a chance to have a big effect.
16 Gabriel Strefezza (Lecce – 3 goals): Gabriel Strefezza continues to be the star for the newly promoted team and was Lecce’s joint-leading goal scorer the previous season in Serie B in terms of goals scored other than penalties.
