#4 Son Heung-Min (4 goals – 8 points)
Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-Min is currently injured and is expected to be ruled out of action for between four and seven weeks.
However, he’s among the top-scorers in Europe, having already netted four goals in the Premier League.
All of Son’s four goals came in Spurs’ 5-2 win over Southampton and he’ll definitely look to add more when he returns to fitness.
#3 Dominic Calvert-Lewin (5 goals – 10 points)
Perhaps the most in-form forward in Europe at the moment, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is currently enjoying the time of his life.
Despite Everton’s star summer signings, the 23-year-old has been the club’s main source of goals this season. He has now scored five goals in the Premier League and is just a goal short of hitting double figures in all competitions. Surely, he’s a strong contender for the European Golden Shoe if he can maintain his form.
#2 Jamie Vardy (5 goals – 10 points)
Good, old Jamie Vardy is right up there with the top contenders for the European Golden Shoe. The Leicester City striker emerged top-scorer in the Premier League last season.
This season, he’s on course to repeat the feat after netting five goals in three games, including a sensational hat-trick against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Vardy occupies the summit of the Premier League top-scorers chart with fellow Englishman Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
#1 Andrej Kramaric (5 goals – 10 points)
The man who has stolen the spotlight as we begin the month of October is Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramaric.
The 29-year-old has scored an astonishing five goals in the Bundesliga this season. He has the same number of goals as Jamie Vardy and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but he edges the duo because his five goals have come in just two games.
Kramaric’s ruthlessness in front of goal is the reason why Hoffenheim sit top of the Bundesliga table and he is a genuine contender for this season’s European Golden Shoe.
