Serhou Guirassy: Tottenham-linked striker breaks all-time Bundesliga record

The Guinea international has exceeded all expectations since joining Stuttgart.

Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy has etched his name into Bundesliga history by surpassing Robert Lewandowski’s record for the most goals at the start of a Bundesliga season.

Since the start of the 2023/24 campaign, Guirassy has enjoyed fantastic form, netting eight goals with eight shots on target in his first four league games.

His extraordinary performance continued with two more goals in a 3-1 victory over Darmstadt on Matchday 5 and a second hat-trick of the season in a win against Wolfsburg on Matchday 7. This impressive run propelled him past Lewandowski, making him the record holder for the highest-ever Bundesliga goal tally at this stage of the season.

Guirassy’s playing style draws comparisons to former England great Wayne Rooney, thanks to his combination of physicality, pace, and clinical finishing.

The striker’s remarkable form has reportedly caught the attention of Premier League clubs, with Tottenham and West Ham among those expressing interest.

Guirassy’s €20 million release clause in his current Stuttgart deal makes him an enticing target for clubs seeking a prolific striker. While Tottenham’s long-term plans for replacing Harry Kane are carefully considered, Guirassy’s impressive performances could make him a key target for the club in the near future.
