Olympiacos's Ayoub El Kaabi is the leading scorer in the 2023/24 UEFA Europa Conference League with ten goals in only eight outings in the competition.
The Moroccan, 30, struck five 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.
Barring something extraordinary in the final – Fiorentina's four-goal Lucas Beltrán is the next highest scorer involved – El Kaabi will finish top scorer for 2023/24.
