\n

The Women\u2019s Super League season is approaching the business end and the Golden Boot race looks set to be a cracker.<\/p>\n

In 2022-23, Aston Villa striker Rachel Daly equalled Vivianne Miedema\u2019s record for most goals in a single campaign when she bagged 22.<\/p>\n

We take a look at which players are excelling in the WSL\u2019s goalscoring department this term.<\/p>\n

Khadija Shaw (14 goals)<\/h2>\n

After a slow beginning to the season, Khadjia Shaw has burst into life at Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Jamaica\u2019s all-time leading scorer \u2014 who netted 20 WSL goals last term \u2014 topped the charts heading into the winter break and further boosted her credentials with a stunning hat-trick against Liverpool last month.The powerful forward, 27, has notched her 14 strikes in just 13 games, most recently netting a crucial winner against champions Chelsea at Kingsmeadow.<\/p>\n

Lauren James (12 goals)<\/h2>\n

Chelsea ace Lauren James has been at the peak of her powers this season.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old scored a hat-trick in the 5-1 win over Liverpool before bagging a brace in a 5-2 victory against Leicester.<\/p>\n

And when Shaw\u2019s hat-trick against Liverpool threatened to see her pull clear in the Golden Boot race, James responded with a treble of her own in a 3-1 defeat of former club Manchester United before netting a double in the 3-0 win at Brighton.<\/p>\n

James has also shone for her country in recent times, netting six goals in 20 international appearances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Nikita Parris (eight goals)<\/h2>\n

Manchester United ace Nikita Parris has been a standout performer in the WSL after the winter pause.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old forward bagged consecutive braces in key victories over Aston Villa and Brighton.<\/p>\n

But Parris\u2019 sparkling form did not pique the interest of England boss Sarina Wiegman ahead of the Lionesses\u2019 matches against Austria and Italy later this month.<\/p>\n

The former Arsenal ace has already represented her country on 71 occasions and scored 17 goals.<\/p>\n

\"Nikita
Nikita Parris joined Manchester United from Arsenal in August 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amalie Thestrup (eight goals)<\/h2>\n

Bristol City\u2019s hopes of WSL survival are heavily dependant on the form of Amalie Thestrup.<\/p>\n

The ex-Liverpool forward joined the club from PSV Vrouwen last summer and has delivered the goods in the final third.<\/p>\n

She was on target in the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa after netting her side\u2019s goal in a 2-1 defeat to West Ham.<\/p>\n

Thestrup has converted a hugely impressive 53% of her attempts on goal this season, while also boasting a 93% shot accuracy<\/p>\n

Martha Thomas has been Tottenham\u2019s shining star after joining from Manchester United last September.<\/p>\n

The North Londoners sit sixth in the WSL table and their 27-year-old striker has recorded seven goals and two assists in 14 appearances.<\/p>\n

Thomas scored on her Spurs debut in a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea, before netting a hat-trick to seal a 4-2 win against Villa in October.<\/p>\n

And the Scotland star bagged the only goal in her side\u2019s famous 1-0 victory over Arsenal before the winter break.<\/p>\n
