The 2024/2025 German Bundesliga season is progressing in a much more familiar manner, with perennial winners Bayern Munich leading the way under the watchful eyes of new head coach Vincent Kompany.
Last season’s invincibles and current defending champions Bayer Leverkusen have already fallen nine points behind the table leaders, sitting in 4th place with RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt occupying 2nd and 3rd spots respectively.
In this article, Soccernet.football takes a look at the ten best performing stars in the Bundesliga after 10 rounds of games in the German top flight.
10. Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)
Olise has proven to be an instant hit at Bayern after signing for the Bavarians from Crystal Palace in the summer. The 22-year-old has made that right flank his own this campaign, registering 7 goals + assists so far to repay Kompany’s faith in him.
9. Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)
The Guinea international’s sensational form for Stuttgart last season, earned him a move to Dortmund where things aren’t exactly going to plan at the moment. Nevertheless, Guirassy’s credentials as a top striker is not in doubt with the 28-year-old already boasting a tally of six goals in eight starts so far.
8. Ikoma Lois Openda (RB Leipzig)
RB Leipzig’s talisman is having a decent campaign in the final third so far this season. The Belgian, who was Leipzig’s go-to man last term is proving to be just as important for the Red Bulls this season. Openda has notched 5 goals so far but he will need to step things up if he is to beat last season’s tally of 24 goals.
7. Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt)
After failing to really breakthrough at Paris Saint-Germain, the Frenchman is currently creating a reputation for himself as one of the most promising strikers across Europe in Eintracht colours. Ekitike has scored five goals and provided two assists in the Bundesliga so far but the 22-year-old is set for a short spell on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury.
6. Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen)
The Nigerian center-forward continues to prove himself a key component of Xabi Alonso’s setup at Leverkusen. Boniface striker has scored 6 goals so far this season, ranking first among Bayer Leverkusen player for combined goal contributions.
5. Marvin Ducksch (Werder Bremen)
Werder Bremen’s Ducksch has been enjoying fine form so far in the Bundesliga despite his side’s struggles in terms of winning points. The 30-year-old striker has registered 7 goal contributions in 10 games this season.
4. Vicenzo Grifo (Freiburg)
The Italian winger has been a standout performer for Freiburg for the last four years and the 32-year-old is at it again this season. So far, Grifo has functioned as Freiburg’s creator-in-chief, registering 5 assists and adding 3 goals to bring his contribution tally up to 8 after ten round of games.
3. Tim Kleindienst (Borussia Monchengladbach)
Following a decent outing last season for FC Heidenheim, Kleindienst made the switch to Monchengladbach during the summer transfer window and the striker has taken to Borussia-Park like a duck to water. The 29-year-old has registered 6 goals and 4 assists in the Bundesliga so far.
2. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
Bayern’s talisman enjoyed a record-breaking debut season at the Allianz Arena last campaign despite the Bavarians’ trophyless end to the season. This season, Bayern are back on their perch and Kane’s ruthlessness in the final third has yielded 11 goals and 5 assists after only 10 round of games. It has to be said, it’s awe-inspiring that the England international is not top of this list with those stats.
1. Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Oh yes!! The Egyptian striker is Germany’s top division’s most in-form player at the moment. With a tally of 11 goals and 7 assists already this season, Marmoush needs just one more goal to beat last season’s haul of 12 Bundesliga goals. He is also six goals behind his personal best tally of 17 in an entire season. Marmoush’s recent form has generated attention from big clubs around Europe with Barcelona touted as a likely destination.
