Rennes' Lepaul Aims for Ligue 1 Top Scorer Title

Rennes forward Esteban Lepaul is targeting the Ligue 1 top‑scorer award, currently third with 14 goals as the season nears its end. He says finishing as top scorer would be magnificent, though a national call‑up is not his priority.

Stade Rennais striker Esteban Lepaul (25) has set his sights on the Ligue 1 top‑scorer trophy, with 14 goals in the league and a third‑place ranking behind Mason Greenwood (15) and Joaquín Panichelli (16). With seven matches left, Lepaul says finishing as the league’s leading scorer would be “magnificent” and a testament to the difficulty of scoring in France’s top flight.

Despite the ambition, Lepaul is not focused on a France call‑up, preferring to stay on course with his season objectives. Rennes sit seventh in Ligue 1 and are still in the mix for European qualification.
