    Krzysztof Piątek, who is in second place with 21 goals, is four goals behind the Napoli loanee.

    The 26-year-old has made 40 appearances for Galatasaray this season, scoring 36 goals and dishing out eight assists.

    In the meantime, Galatasaray won the league title in front of their home crowd after defeating Kayserispor.

    Galatasaray leads the Turkish Super Lig table by eight points.

    With two games left in the season, they are ahead of Fenerbahçe, who are in second place.

    Fenerbahçe has 81 points, while Galatasaray has 89.
