Jarrod Bowen and Konstantinos Mavropanos are currently leading West Ham United’s Championship scoring charts after eight league matches.
Both players have scored four Championship goals for Nuno Espírito Santo’s side, with the identity of Bowen’s closest challenger perhaps the biggest surprise.
Mavropanos has matched the West Ham captain despite operating at centre-back.
Joël Piroe and Mohamadou Kanté are close behind with three league goals apiece as West Ham continue to spread their attacking output across the squad.
According to the latest West Ham Championship scoring data from FotMob, nine different Hammers have already scored in the league this season.

Statistics correct after West Ham’s 2-2 draw with Millwall on 19 September.
Jarrod Bowen remains West Ham’s attacking leader
Bowen’s position near the top of West Ham’s scoring chart is hardly surprising.
The captain has started all eight Championship fixtures and combines his four goals with three assists, giving him seven direct goal contributions already.
West Ham’s official Bowen profile confirms his productive start, while his league goals have included a brace in the 3-2 victory at Bolton Wanderers.
Our Bolton v West Ham match report showed how decisive Bowen remains when Nuno’s side need a match-winner.
He then struck again during the emphatic victory over Wrexham.
Bowen’s form has been particularly notable given his omission from Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad, something Read West Ham examined after the captain was overlooked despite his Championship performances.
Konstantinos Mavropanos producing remarkable goal return
Few would have expected a centre-back to be level with Bowen at the top of West Ham’s league scoring chart.
Mavropanos has changed that.
The Greece international scored again at Millwall to rescue a point for West Ham, heading home Manor Solomon’s delivery during the second-half comeback.
That was his fourth Championship goal of the campaign.
The official West Ham report from the 2-2 draw at The Den confirmed Mavropanos’ latest contribution, while our analysis has already looked at how the defender has developed into West Ham’s unlikely scoring weapon.
His output is not simply the result of one freak afternoon.
Mavropanos also scored against Bolton and Wrexham, with West Ham increasingly finding ways to target his aerial strength from set pieces.
FotMob records his four league goals from approximately 2.5 expected goals, compared with Bowen’s four from 4.0 xG.
That underlines just how efficiently Mavropanos has taken his opportunities.
Piroe and Kanté keeping pressure on leaders
Piroe and Kanté sit only one goal behind the leading pair.
Piroe was brought in with a reputation as a proven Championship scorer and already has three league goals.
Kanté has also reached three after coming off the bench to score West Ham’s first goal during the Millwall comeback.
The range of contributors could become particularly important over a long Championship campaign.
West Ham demonstrated that depth during their 6-0 demolition of Wrexham, when six different players found the net.
Bowen remains the obvious attacking reference point, but Nuno is already getting goals from centre-backs, midfielders, wide players and his collection of strikers.
This page will be updated throughout the 2026/27 season as the race to finish as West Ham’s leading scorer develops.
