Top 5 candidates for the Premier League Golden Boot this season

#2 Tammy Abraham

Tammy Abraham has made a statement with his exploits in front of goal

Even though Chelsea have not hit the ground running as expected of them this season, one thing they cannot complain about is the form of Tammy Abraham at the moment. Finding the back of the net every 70 minutes is something even many elite attackers cannot really boast of this season.

It looks like it is only a matter of time before the Chelsea forward is amongst the best strikers in the league. Had he found the back of the net against the likes of Liverpool and Brighton, he could've been up there with Aguero. However, at the rate he is going, it'd be really difficult for anyone to stop him.

Abraham has been reliable in front of goal for Frank Lampard's men this season. He has bagged 7 goals for The Blues in 7 Premier League games so far - which puts him in a great position to fight for the Golden Boot come the end of the term.

#1 Sergio Aguero

Aguero is currently leading the pack

This is a player that has lit up the Premier League season after season for almost 9 years now. But ever since the arrival of Pep Guardiola, Sergio Aguero has become absolutely unstoppable.

Last season, Aguero almost clinched the top scorer award. If not for time spent on the sidelines due to injury, he would have bagged the award. Yet, the Argentine has started where he left off last season. Finding the back of the net every 59 minutes, Aguero has shown that he still has a lot left in his tank despite turning 31 earlier this year.

If he goes on like this till the end of the season, Manchester City will be unstoppable.
