Rennes' Lepaul Aims for Ligue 1 Top Scorer Title

Rennes striker Esteban Lepaul is chasing the Ligue 1 top scorer trophy, currently third with 14 goals, just behind Marseille's Greenwood and Strasbourg's Panichelli.

Lepaul, 25, has 14 Ligue 1 goals, placing him third in the league's scoring charts behind Mason Greenwood (15) and Joaquín Panichelli (16). With seven matches left, the Rennes forward is determined to finish as the top scorer.

He said the challenge is tough and that winning the Top Scoreur trophy would be a great achievement, though he is not focused on a national team call‑up. Rennes currently sit seventh and are in the race for European qualification.
