His impressive tally of 28 goals in as many league matches played a crucial role in Stuttgart's surprising second-place finish, which saw them leapfrog Bayern Munich on the final day.
Adebayor, who won the award in 2008, believes Guirassy deserves to win.
“Of course [he deserves to win],” Adebayor told Afrik-Foot.
“He had an extraordinary season with Stuttgart, he is a striker who scored a lot.
“He will be one of the contenders, that's for sure, especially since Salah has not scored as much, Victor Osimhen did not have the same season as the year of the title. It's open this year. If it's Guirassy, it will be deserved.”
Guirassy will be up against the likes of Nigeria's Ademola Lookman, and Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen.
