Euro 2024 has been full of surprises, and none bigger than the player currently leading the race for the Golden Boot. While established stars like Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane were expected contenders, it’s Georgia’s Georges Mikautadze who sits atop the scorer’s list with a surprising three goals.
Mikautadze, a 25-year-old forward playing in his first major international tournament, has netted twice from the penalty spot and bagged a crucial winner against North Macedonia. His goals have been instrumental in propelling Georgia, a team not expected to progress far, into a strong position for the knockout stages.
Here’s a look at the current Euro 2024 top scorers (As of 27 June 2024):
- Georges Mikautadze (Georgia): 3 goals
- Niclas Füllkrug (Germany): 2 goals
- Cody Gakpo (Netherlands): 2 goals
- Jamal Musiala (Germany): 2 goals
- Ivan Schranz (Slovakia): 2 goals
