The new leader is Harry Kane, due to prolific start at Bayern. He added 8 goals in 6 rounds of Bundesliga to 17 scored for Spurs in the first half of the year.
Mauro Icardi from Galatasaray has the same amount (25 goals) but concedes by a tie-breaker (strength of the league, according to IFFHS ranking for leagues).
