Senegal striker Moussa Konate currently heads the Olympic goalscoring charts with the quarter-final stage of the tournament approaching.

Three players are realistically in contention for the men's football Golden Boot as the quarter-finals of the Olympics approaches.

Senegal striker Moussa Konate currently leads the chart with four goals, while Jerry Bengston has struck three goals for Honduras on their way to the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah has struck three for Egypt and he could improve that tally when his country takes on Japan on Saturday.

Five other players are on two strikes as the latter stages of the tournament approach, with Leandro Damiao and Neymar both on two goals for Brazil.

Egypt skipper Mohamed Aboutrika also has two, along with Mexico's Giovani dos Santos and Team GB striker Daniel Sturridge.

The quarter-finals of the competition take place on Saturday.
