This is likely to be one of the most competitive races for domestic top scorer across all European leagues.

Although he didn’t really challenge last year, Victor Osimhen’s departure from Napoli on loan to Galatasaray provides everyone else with a major boost.

Lautaro Martínez, last season’s sharpest marksman in Serie A, is yet to find the net. Instead, his teammate, Marcus Thuram, and Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui are setting the pace in a division that is crammed with in-form players.

Keep an eye on Romelu Lukaku. He’s gaining traction at Napoli and will have chances laid on by the bucket load once he’s up to full sharpness under longtime collaborator Antonio Conte.
