All eyes will be on the Leagues Cup 2024 with some of the best players in Major League Soccer and Liga MX looking to score goals to help their teams win.
The two North American leagues are blessed with attacking talent, but we won't be able to see superstar Lionel Messi take the pitch for Inter Miami for a few weeks as he looks set to miss out heavily, if not more. all, of the Leagues Cup.
However, that means players from two of Mexico's most successful clubs — Tigres and Club America — could step up to the plate. The same can be said for both Los Angeles-based MLS clubs that have their star forward leading the line in the League Cup.
Here are the five best strikers in the Leagues Cup 2024.
Expectations were high when LA Galaxy shelled out around $10m for Gabriel Pec this winter, but the exciting winger has more than shown his quality this season with Gs.
The 23-year-old has registered 10 goals and 10 assists in league play and will look to carry this impressive form into the Leagues Cup.
Although Real Salt Lake talisman Cristian 'Chicho' Arango will miss his team's first Group Stage match vs Atlas through suspension, he should return to the team against Houston Dynamo.
Arango – in his second season in the league – played at an MVP level in 2024 with a league-leading 17 goals while dishing out 11 assists. The former LAFC player will definitely be watched at the front this summer.
This list wouldn't be complete without Tigres striker Andre-Pierre Gignac. The 38-year-old has already been a strong star in the 2024 Apertura season with two goals in three starts and looks set to continue his scoring streak in the League Cup.
When it comes to the best frontmen in the mid-continent, there aren't many better than Club America's Henry Martin.
The former Tijuana striker has scored four goals in the opening four of Aperterua's 2024 campaign as America look to take home the League Cup after being sent home in the Round of 16 last summer.
It's safe to say that almost every team competing in the Leagues Cup (except LAFC, of course) would love to have Golden Boot winner Denis Bouanga in their side.
The Gabon international has not slowed down in 2024 after his impressive 2023 season and is just four goals short of matching his 20-goal haul last season. With Bouanga in top form, there is no doubt that he will be one of the most feared strikers in the League Cup 2024.
