Mohamed Salah was one of the three Golden Boot recipients last season and he might just get his hands on the award this season too. The Egyptian tallied his 15th league goal of the campaign as he helped Liverpool overcome West Ham United by a scoreline of 3-2 on Monday.

Since joining Klopp's side in 2017, the 27-year-old has bagged 90 goals in 140 appearances for the club and among the 90 goals, 69 of them were scored in the Premier League. Salah's regular contribution in front of goal is helping his team become one of the best in England and Europe.

The Reds have drawn only one match so far this season and have won the remaining 26 games in the Premier League. This has also given them a comfortable 22-point lead over current title holders, Manchester City, at the top of the table.

If Liverpool finish their season unbeaten, Salah will definitely get plenty of credit for all the hard work he has put in for the team.


#3 Sergio Aguero

In the previous season, Sergio Aguero narrowly missed out on the Golden Boot after finishing with 21 goals. The Argentine will surely be determined to make up for his losses and fight hard for the award this term.

The 31-year-old won his only Premier League Golden Boot award in the 2014-15 season with 26 goals from 33 games. At the time, Diego Costa was still playing for Chelsea and Mikel Arteta was the captain of Arsenal. Four seasons have passed since the forward lifted the individual trophy but he remains a strong contender this season.

Judging by his consistent performances in recent years, the Manchester City striker is expected to exceed 20 Premier League goals this season and many will be betting on him to win the Golden Boot this May.
