European Golden Shoe: Top 5 Contenders so far

#4 Mbaye Diagne - 30 goals and 45 points

Mbaye Diang-Galatasary's Senegalese goal machine

It might surprise many to find that Mane isn't the top scoring Senegalese in this list. But such has been the form of Turkish Super Lig's top scorer Mbaye Diang. In a league that has a weightage coefficient of 1.5 as opposed to two of England, Italy, France, Spain and Germany, the 6 foot 4 inch striker has smashed in 30 goals to accumulate 45 points. Interestingly, the striker started the 2018-19 season as a player of Kasimpasa but his red-hot form (20 goals in 17 appearances) triggered a mid-season transfer to Turkish giants Galatasaray. The Senegalese sensation continued his ridiculous form in Istanbul, slotting in a further 10 goals in 11 games to finish the season as the league's top scorer. To put his dominance into perspective, the next highest goalscorer in the Super Lig, Burak Yilmaz of Besiktas has managed only 16 goals this campaign.
