EPL 2018-2019: Goal scorers to watch this season

2 - Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mo Salah's ability to create space and finish from anywhere makes him a top candidate of the Golden Boot this season.

After signing a long-term extension with Liverpool this summer, Mo Salah will enter the EPL season as the first scorer to reach 32 goals in a single season. Mo took the league by surprise upon his return to the Premier League after a few seasons away with Fiorentina and AS Roma.

It is no surprise to see Salah's name as a front-runner for the Golden Boot. Jurgen Klopp has improved this Liverpool side and they play a high-pressing style that opens chances for their front three.

Liverpool's quality in attack is one of the most efficient in the world and we can expect Salah to be on the end of many great chances this season. With the likes of Mane, Firmino, Keita, Fabinho, and many others at his back, we will see Salah get into dangerous positions where his conversion rate is top class.

As we saw last year, winning the Golden Boot will require at least 30 goals. With the number of quality attackers the Premier League is hosting this year, we can expect Salah to increase his efforts to try and retain the Golden Boot. He will be hard-pressed, but his ability in space and clinical finishing make him a dangerous prospect.
