Goals Scored - 16

The Spaniard has a bigger issue at hand, something that is of greater importance to the collective requirements of his team. Celta Vigo are still hovering near the relegation zone, even though a better goal difference sees them currently occupy the 15th place. They are currently on 37 points and a strong finish to the season should help them secure their La Liga status. And the Spaniard, who has singlehandedly brought them so far, will be key to their survival once more.

Aspas returned from injury at the end of March and had a phenomenal month of April. The Spaniard scored four goals in five games last month and also provided four assists. Incidentally, Celta Vigo won two and drew three of those five games. Their only defeat in April was against Atletico Madrid, a game where Aspas was serving a yellow card suspension.

As of now, the Spaniard has 16 goals and six assists from 24 games in La Liga. He is currently averaging a goal every 124 minutes played. Even though Aspas does not have a realistic chance of winning the Golden Boot, he would be equally content if a stay in La Liga for Celta Vigo is secured.
