2023/24 Europa Conference League top scorer: Ayoub El Kaabi

Olympiacos's Ayoub El Kaabi has moved clear at the top of the 2023/24 UEFA Europa Conference League goalscorer rankings after taking his tally to ten goals in only eight outings in the competition.

The Moroccan, 30, struck five across the tie as Olympiacos beat Aston Villa 6-2 on aggregate to seal their place in the final in Athens. The Greek side only transferred from the UEFA Europa League ahead of the knockout stages.

El Kaabi's latest strike moved him clear of Maccabi Tel Aviv's Eran Zahavi and barring something extraordinary in the final – Fiorentina's five-goal Lucas Beltrán is the next highest scorer involved – he will finish top scorer for 2023/24.
